Huge coincidence a new Apple TV is coming next week.
Apple's iPhones and iPads have transformed the company into a mobile gaming giant, and with a new Apple TV due out later this year, the company is poised to bring games to the living room as well. In possible preparation for that move, it's debuted a new Twitter channel dedicated to games. Launched Thursday morning, @AppStoreGames promises a curated feed of Apple gaming selections "straight from our Games Editors."
The new AppleTV, BuzzFeed News has reported, will be "more polished," have a new A8 chip, more storage, a better operating system, compatbility with Siri, and an app store. The Apple TV's remote will have "motion sensors that will allow it to function as game controller," BuzzFeed News has reported.
Mark Gurman reported for 9to5 Mac that the TV will have "deep support for gaming," and will allow for games to be downloaded from the TV's App Store. Gurman also reproted that the TV box "will also support more complex, console-style Bluetooth game controllers."
About 30% of Apple's iOS App Store downloads were for games in the last quarter of 2014, IDC and App Annie said in a report and nearly 75% of spending in the App Store was for games.
