The gold rush of emulators to the App Store following Apple’s rule changes in April has largely avoided PC-based emulators. While there were some game engine-specific options, such as ScummVM, general PC gaming emulators didn’t previously exist on the App Store.
UTM SE, by Turing Software, is a “retro PC emulator” meant for running classic software and old games. On Sunday, the app finally appeared in the App Store, having been given the green light from Apple’s App Store Review team.
