iOS 26's Rumored Games App Described in More Detail in New Report

Mark Gurman has provided more details about the rumored new Games app on iPhones, which is expected to be part of iOS 26. The Games app will have five tabs: Home, Arcade, Play Together, Library, and Search. The app will resemble a games-centric version of the App Store, giving more prominence to App Store games and Apple Arcade games. Despite the new app, there will still be a Games tab in the App Store. Gurman described the new Games app as "underwhelming". The Games app will replace Apple's longstanding Game Center feature, which allows players to track achievements and compete with others. Game Center was a preinstalled app on iPhones but was moved to the Settings app in 2016. The new Games app will be one of two new preinstalled apps on iOS 26, the other being Preview for managing PDFs. Gurman previously reported on the new Games app, which is expected to be announced at WWDC 2025. The new Games app is part of the upcoming iOS 26 and WWDC 2025 events.
