Months after Apple opened the App Retailer to game-streaming apps, the iPhone is about to get its first one. Retro gaming platform Antstream will arrive on iOS on June 27. Cult of Mac first reported on the information.

Designed to spice up competitors and stop the all-too-common consumer-hostile practices in Large Tech, the DMA’s laws went into impact in 2023. Earlier this yr, Apple stated it will start permitting builders to submit single apps that stream whole libraries of video games, one thing it had beforehand resisted.
