Apple recently held a special event for press and influencers to reveal a detailed preview of the games scheduled to launch on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac later this year. According to a report from Tom’s Guide, the demo event featured a range of games from Apple’s extensive Arcade lineup on Apple TV to innovative fitness games from Apple Entrepreneur Camp and The Medium running on M1 and M2-based Macs.

Apple wanted to provide a more personal and hands-on experience for the press and influencers to discover new products. The event was held at a special location in New York, where the company occasionally held closed briefings with members of the press to showcase and showcase new products. However, the event has focused entirely on gaming, with various game developers presenting their product plans for Apple platforms in 2023.

Some of the games featured at Apple’s event include Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, Honkai: Star Rail, Lego Star Wars Castaways, Run Legends, and The Medium. “2023 looks like a great time to be an Apple gamer,” said CNN columnist Mike Andronico. Influenced by Call of Duty: Warzone coming to iPhone this year. “Activision’s latest little Call of Duty game looked great and ran at 120fps on the iPhone 14 Pro Max.” The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the company’s flagship smartphone powered by the A16 bionic chip. However, Mike noticed that the device got a little hot during the game. Also, the game crashed towards the end of the game session. In response, Activision said that this is all pre-release software, so hopefully these bugs will be fixed in the not-too-distant future to avoid any issues.

Apple also impressed Mike, who said that the game looks as good as running on a custom RTX 3080 gaming PC, adding that the game runs at a breathtaking resolution. 4K and at least 60fps, except for the occasional stutter during intense game scenes. The company stressed that the game has been tested on Mac computers with M1 and M2 processors and should work well even on a basic 2020 MacBook Air.

It’s interesting to note that Apple has been leaning more and more towards games since the company switched to Apple Silicon. Apple started promoting the Mac as a gaming platform and continues to focus on games for iPhone and iPad. Now all that’s left is to see what Apple’s game plans look like in the future.
