Apple TV is, in the eyes of many apple lovers, one of the most useless products in the portfolio Applu. I don't completely agree with this idea, as this product has been part of our household for many years, just as we "taught" my parents to use it, but on the other hand I critically admit that the usability Apple TV as such it is quite weak. After all, apart from watching streaming services or IPTV and easy access to photos, there is actually nothing on Apple TV lots to do. Sure, there are various games available, but honestly, those for too much nestoh, even if you subscribe Apple Arcade. And yet it would be enough from the side Applu so little to get Apple TV a completely new dimension that would be extremely interesting to me as well. This means I have to look for another solution.

Although the days when I was quite active in playing video games on my computer and game console are long gone, when I have some free time and don't really have to do anything at home or in the garden, I like to sit down at my Xbox and play some games. Lately, it's mainly Call of Duty: Warzonewhich we play with in the evenings Romanem z LsA and two other friends. But I also like to play singleplayer games, such as Metro, Assassin's Creed, Kingdom Come or Mafia. What sometimes annoys me more is that some interesting singleplayer games like The Last of Us, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima or Death Stranding are exclusive to PlayStation and I can't play them on Xbox. Buying a classic PC is then completely unnecessary for me. What annoys me even more is that the last-mentioned game is available on iPhonech and Macs, so it is optimized for Apple both hardware and software, but on Apple TV has been completely forgotten. Yet its support would make a lot of sense here.

Applu would actually be enough to just put it in Apple TV a more powerful processor along with RAM and, if necessary, return active cooling to it. Running AAA games available for iPhones and iPads would then be almost impossible 100% no problem, as tvOS is actually just a redesign iOS. Thanks to this upgrade, we could then Apple TV play high-quality games almost as if you were on a console. It has been possible to connect a game controller to it for some time now and we would certainly forgive it for its poor graphics. After all, in terms of size, this is a device that is completely incomparable to Xboxes or PlayStations. Playing on Apple TV Moreover, the world would of course perceive it more as another option for using this TV smart box than as the main argument for purchasing it.

Hard to say why Apple it still prevents something similar even at a time when it already has a few AAA titles available for iPhones, iPads and Macs. Quite possibly, this is partly due to his fear that game developers will not be too involved in adding their titles to his software platforms, because they simply won't want to pay a 30% commission on the eventual sale of the game. On the other hand, they could get their games into a lot of other households in this way, which would definitely be interesting. And the idea that I send the child on vacation to his grandmother and pack only his game controller in his backpack, with the fact that the child will then connect it to the Apple TV and playing his favorite console game there in his free time is not bad at all for me.

However, until then nestno (and if at all), we will have to rely on the current solution in the form of mirroring the game from the iPhone to Apple TV, which however causes the phone to heat up significantly and is therefore a longer-term issue, or playing on a classic game console or computer. An interesting option may of course be game streaming services, which I plan to try in the near future, to make myself clear about their current (un)usability, for my own purposes.
