Summary

Apple is set to launch a new gaming app designed as a central hub for video games across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV at its WWDC next week. The app will allow users to play games they've already installed, track achievements, and access leaderboards while replacing Apple’s Game Center on iOS. A Mac version of the app will also be available, enabling users to access games downloaded outside the App Store. The app is designed similarly to Xbox's iPhone gaming interface, offering a seamless experience for players.
