Apple Arcade works on a TV through Apple TV, but it won’t replace your Xbox, Play. Station or Switch.
One of the next things we asked ourselves was; how do I play arcade games on my TV?
On your Apple TV: Open the Arcade app, or open the App Store, and go to the Arcade tab at the top of the screen. On your Mac: Open the App Store, and go to the Arcade tab in the sidebar. You can also search the App Store for a specific game.
Can You Play Apple Arcade games with a controller?
Since many Apple Arcade games are playable on Mac and Apple TV (where controller support is more common), many games will support them. Some games, especially those that are also available in the broader App Store and only for i. Phone or i. Pad, have no controller support.
Can I play my game on multiple devices with Apple Arcade?
Apple Arcade uses i. Cloud and Game Center for game progress, game saves, and playing with friends on all of your devices that are signed in to i. Cloud and Game Center with the same Apple ID. As long as you’re signed in, you can play your game on any of your devices.
This begs the query “Do I need a controller to play Apple Arcade games?”
Once you subscribe, there are no additional purchases needed in Apple Arcade games. You can play games with just your i, phone, i, pad, i Pod touch, Mac, or Apple TV. If you see a controller icon on the app’s page, the game has controller support for that Apple device. You can use a game controller to play most games, even if they don’t require it.
How do I get help playing Apple Arcade games?
