The new Apple TV will finally play games

Video games are finally coming to the Apple TV. At an event today, Apple revealed a new version of its set-top box, and for the first time games will be available on the device thanks to a new App Store. Apple teased a bigger focus on gaming last week, with the launch of a new Twitter feed. The new Apple TV also includes a new remote with a touchpad, and if you turn it sideways it doubles as a controller.

Some of the first titles revealed for the device include Crossy Road, Rayman Adventures,a mobile version of Guitar Hero Live, and even the previously console-focused Disney Infinity. Some of the games have new features — in the case of Crossy Road, the Apple TV version will introduce multiplayer play for the first time. Rock Band studio Harmonix unveiled a new game called Beat Sports which combines the studio's knack for rhythm games with a sports title. It's an exclusive title for the Apple TV.
