Apple finally allows game streaming services on the App Store
After years of services like Xbox game streaming being locked to browsers, Apple is finally opening up the App Store to them.
Folks who like gaming on-the-go got some good news from Apple on Thursday.
In a blog post on its developer website, Apple confirmed that third-party video game streaming apps from the likes of Xbox and Nvidia are now permitted on the App Store.
The Cupertino-based tech giant makes this announcement after years of forcing users to clunkily stream games via mobile browsers.
“Developers can now submit a single app with the capability to stream all of the games offered in their catalog,” Apple wrote in the blog post.
This should make life a lot easier for people who utilize services like Xbox Game Pass's cloud streaming, allowing them to play console and PC-quality games on-the-go.
It's always been possible to use those services on iOS, but again, you had to do so through a mobile browser, which just isn't as elegant as using a fully featured mobile app. Now, that problem will be a thing of the past.
At least this week brought some good tech news.
