Apple TV 4K is quietly good for video games

Apple’s current A15 Bionic-powered Apple TV 4K
Gaming is likely not the primary reason why people buy Apple TV 4K (from $145.44 via Amazon) boxes, but it’s quietly a nice extra benefit as there’s a huge selection of games you can play on the device.

[T]he connected TV screen is much larger than the one on your iPhone or iPad, and if you’ve already bought games on these mobile devices, you won’t have to pay again to play them on the Apple TV 4K.
For more advanced and involved gameplay, you can even hook up a Bluetooth controller, giving you a true console-like experience…
You shouldn’t have any trouble finding games to play: Open the App Store (the icon showing a white “A” on a blue background) from the home screen, then scroll across to Games to see what’s available. The store will only show you games that will work on the Apple TV 4K, so there’s no danger of installing something that’s incompatible. Scroll across to Purchased to see games you’ve bought and installed on other Apple devices.
If you subscribe to Apple Arcade for $4.99 a month, you get access to an additional pool of more than 200 games. To find them, you can switch to the Arcade tab in the App Store or use the Apple Arcade shortcut on the home screen (an icon showing a white joystick on a red background)…
