Although it sounds crazy, quiet, and everything has an explanation. Apple has thought Delete all your gamesleaving the App Store as a store only applications, without games section, trying that the user does not mix what he is looking for.
To do this, it seems that they will create a New storedirectly called games, where they would promote, in turn, Apple Arcade, your own service that allows you to download and play hundreds of titles with a monthly subscription, although the rest of them, both free and payment, will remain available in this new app.
New Apple game store
Everything indicates that this will be carried out in the New version of iOS 19 (as well as parallels in other systems) which will come out in September, although it will begin its betas in the coming weeks, so the store could be ready to be shown to all of them.
From what it seems, apps and games will be divided, and in each of the stores we will have more most interesting and reliable recommended options, filters and suggestions, trying that what we are looking for, we find it.
In turn, as we said, it seems that it will be a way of trying to boost Apple Arcadea company's own service that, for 6.99 euros per month, allows us to install any game of its catalog (more than 200) for free, and best of all, without advertising or purchases inside, that is, as those video games of PlayStation 2 or GameBoy, which you only bought them and did not have to worry about anything else.

And you, do you think the division between stores is a success, or only an Apple strategy to sell their subscriptions and that everyone knows them better? The truth is that it may be the latter, although if the new store is better, more aesthetic, with better filters, etc., for me delighted, since many times I am looking for a game, instead of an application, or vice versa, and being able to look for a word and that does not show me anything of the other, it is very useful, saving time and improving the user's experience, although that yes, we will have to have one more store, that is, another app, and another
