Apple mobile phones have greatly promoted the development of the mobile game industry, but Apple seems to be less interested in PC/console games, PC players will basically choose Windows computers, and the host world is divided by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. And recently there has been gossip that Apple may be considering re-entering the game console market!
It was revealed that Apple is studying the feasibility of entering the console market through external consultation, and they are considering a variety of different strategies, such as creating an Apple-only game console, or changing apple TV into a console. At the same time, Apple is also looking for exclusive game opportunities from some head game companies, and it is reported that Ubisoft and Capcom are very active in this regard.
In January this year, there was news that Apple had built its own game console, and the news at that time was that Apple had been "poaching" Xbox engineers. However, so far, the above news has not been confirmed.
Apple currently has an Apple Arcade game subscription service
Apple introduced a hardware device called "Apple Pippin" during the console wars of the 20th century, but it was unsuccessful. In recent years, the game industry has once again become the focus of attention of major giants, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Meta and other large companies are entering the game industry, and perhaps Apple also wants to take new actions. Apple's hardware products are sought after by many people, and if Apple enters the game, it may bring new vitality to the host industry. But the news about the exclusivity of the game mentioned in the breaking news is, to be honest, a little worrying.
I don't know what everyone thinks about this? Are you looking forward to Apple building its own console?
