Luna will be launched with over 100 games available, including titles such as Resident Evil 7, Control, Panzer Dragoon, A Plague Tale: Innocence, and The Surge 2, with more titles coming in the future.
Apple announced this month new App Store guidelines addressing game streaming services, which weren’t allowed on the App Store. The company says that streaming games are now allowed, as long as developers submit each game to the App Store as separate apps in compliance with all guidelines.
The Cupertino-based company has stated that developers who choose not to follow the App Store rules can offer web apps, although these apps have several limitations compared to a native app.
Streaming games are permitted so long as they adhere to all guidelines — for example, each game update must be submitted for review, developers must provide appropriate metadata for search, games must use in-app purchase to unlock features or functionality, etc. Of course, there is always the open Internet and web browser apps to reach all users outside of the App Store.
We’ll continue working with Apple. We’d love to do a native experience. They’re evaluating what their policies are there, they keep talking about them. And when we can come up with a good experience there, we’ll ship that one, too.
