Summary
At its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next week, Apple is expected to unveil a new gaming app for iPhones, iPads, Apple TV and Mac computers.
The app will allow users to launch games and act as a hub for scores and achievements.
It is set to be released alongside the latest iOS update in September, which will ditch the existing Game Centre app.
The app functions like the Xbox app for iPhones and can access games on the App Store.
Apple has also recently bought its first gaming studio, RAC7, which is behind the arcade game Sneaky Sasquatch.
The acquisition means the studio will continue to operate as an independent games studio, rather than being folded into Apple’s existing teams.
