Apple has taken a major step into the gaming industry by acquiring a game development studio for the first time in its history. The studio in question is RAC7, known for the popular Apple Arcade title Sneaky Sasquatch.

Alongside the acquisition, it was revealed that during WWDC 2025, scheduled for June 9, Apple will announce a new gaming application.

This move highlights Apple’s intention to become a more influential player in the gaming industry, offering both hardware and software solutions tailored for gamers around the world.
