Apple is launching a new Apple Games app in iOS 26, blending Game Center features with curated games. A new domain has gone live ahead of WWDC25.

Apple Games App Likely Launching with iOS 26 as New Domain Goes Live

Just ahead of WWDC 2025, Apple is quietly setting the stage for its all-new Apple Games app, expected to be announced as part of iOS 26. And now, there’s clear evidence it’s real: Apple has activated a new domain — games.apple.com — a strong sign that the company is prepping to unveil this gaming experience during the keynote.

What Is the Apple Games App?

The upcoming Apple Games app is expected to bring together the best of mobile gaming in one place. According to reports, the app will:

  • Curate games from the App Store and Apple Arcade
  • Integrate Game Center features like achievements, friends lists, and leaderboards
  • Offer a more social and organized way to discover, play, and share games

In short, it’s Apple’s attempt to create a true hub for iOS gamers — something that’s long been missing.

Although the new games.apple.com URL currently shows only a blank white page, it’s not an error. Unlike previous attempts that led to a “Safari can’t find the server” message, this new response shows the domain is active and content is being prepared.

This could mean a lot of things:

  • A marketing page explaining what the Apple Games app is and what it offers
  • Or, more interestingly, a web-based game hub where users can view game profiles, share links, and perhaps preview Apple Arcade content in-browser

Where Will Apple Games App Be Available?

While nothing is confirmed yet, sources expect the new app to launch across:

This means Apple is pushing to make its gaming experience unified across platforms, finally giving Game Center a meaningful facelift.

With the WWDC 2025 here, we’ll soon know exactly how Apple plans to level up gaming on its devices. Stay tuned.
