Apple’s new ‘Games’ app aims to be a one-stop hub for all things gaming

Last fall, 9to5Mac revealed that Apple was developing a new, dedicated ‘Games’ app for iPhone and other devices. This week, Bloomberg News confirmed the report, adding that the ‘Games’ app is slated for release with iOS 26 later this year.
Ryan Christoffel for 9to5Mac:

One tentpole feature of the Games app is that it will serve as a launcher into all of your games.
Similar to how Apple’s TV app aggregates movies and TV shows in one place, so the Games app will be a one-stop hub for all things gaming.
So whether you’ve downloaded an app from the App Store, Apple Arcade, or even outside the App Store on your Mac, you’ll be able to open the Games app to find every title and launch directly into them.

‎
MacDailyNews Take: Depending on participation, we expect, similar to how Apple TV has many, but not all of the streaming services, making it not quite the one-stop hub Apple envisioned.
