Apple reportedly plans games subscription service akin to Netflix

Apple has a rough track record where games are concerned, frequently snatching defeat from the jaws of victory when it attempts new gaming initiatives. But strong App Store games revenues have reportedly inspired the company to develop a gaming subscription service, a move that could enable it to compete against similar offerings from console- and set top box-making rivals.

The claimed games subscription service would function like Netflix, Cheddar reports, enabling users to pay one fee to get all-you-can-play monthly access to a collection of titles. Presumably, the game collection would work across iOS devices such as iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches, as macOS and tvOS game libraries are comparatively small and fragmented.
