Retro gaming on Apple’s ecosystem enjoyed a revival in 2024, as Apple updated its App Store Review Guidelines to allow emulators into the App Store. The change led to a gold rush of emulators arriving in the digital storefront, providing ways to play classic titles on your iPhone or iPad.
The change also made it possible to do the same on the Apple TV. The set-top box in the living room seems like the perfect bit of kit to play retro games on, being connected to a large TV and in the comfiest chairs of the home.
