25 years ago, Apple and Bandai launched the Pippin (in the image), a somewhat powerful, overpriced video game console with a mediocre title and, in the end, a failure. Decades later, Apple would like to try again and make its own console.
In May 2021, we heard a rumor on a South Korean forum that Apple was planning to release a device that could put the Nintendo Switch on the ropes.
This is not the first information we have that would suggest this next step for Apple in the world. GameAlthough there were previous rumors that Apple would choose to upgrade the capabilities of Apple TV to make it a console.
Whether you are planning an appropriate gaming console or adding capabilities Game For the next generation of Apple TV, it appears the company would be serious about entering the world of video games, beyond Apple Arcade.
What will the Apple gaming console look like?
The big question is: will Apple decide to make a dedicated gaming console or will it choose to develop the Apple TV with more capabilities? Game?
The rumor from the South Korean forum indicates that one could see a hybrid game console that includes the functionality of a fixed console and a portable console.
However, we believe they are more likely to choose to launch an Apple TV in the future that combines capabilities Game. This is what the Fudge leaker said in October 2020:
Apple Arcade is getting a lot of money. There are currently titles in the works that aim to compete with Breath of the Wild, which is why the new AppleTV A12X / Z, AppleTV “A14X-like” and Controller are in the works.
Some games will require A13 and above to run 💁🏼♀️

This tweet suggests that the new Apple TV model will allow you to play video games with graphics at the level of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Fudge isn’t the only leaker suggesting Apple TV could gain capacity Game. Jon Prosser also said the new model could be a platform Game even more attractive thanks to the launch of a new Apple controller.
Currently, you need to use an Xbox or PlayStation controller to play with Apple devices. If a new controller made by Apple was launched, the experience would be more complete.
When will the Apple game console be released?
It’s possible that Fudge is right and that Apple intended to release an Apple TV hybrid game console, but instead released the 2021 Apple TV 4K. It has little difference from the 2017 model.
So why haven’t you improved your abilities Game as expected? This may be due to the dispute it faces with Epic and other similar cases, such as when Apple banned the presence of xCloud and other services on iOS.
This is why it is possible that the schedule of plans Game Apple is determined by the resolution of these company legal disputes with Epic.
Will Apple Design a Gaming Mac?
That’s another possibility and it looks like Apple’s VP has already given clues about a possible Mac for the players. Tim Milet assured that it would be natural for Apple to want to enter this field. After all, says Milet, Apple likes a challenge.
