The new ‘Guitar Hero,’ ‘Crossy Road’ multiplayer heads to Apple TV
The latest version of Apple TV offers a bunch of new apps and Siri functionalities — and it also has games. Today during its 2015 iPhone event, Apple showed off some new gaming experiences, including Rayman Adventures, Disney Infinity 3.0, Shadowmatic, Crossy Road and the new Guitar Hero. Hipster Whale, the developer behind Crossy Road, took the stage to show how the game works in the living room, using the Apple TV remote’s new touchscreen function to control the crossing character. Crossy Road is also getting a multiplayer mode on Apple TV, where players can join in with an iPhone or iPod Touch as a controller.
The Apple TV remote has both touchscreen and motion-sensing capabilities. Harmonix, the studio behind Rock Band, jumped on-stage to show off Beat Sports, a new rhythm-based game exclusive to Apple TV. With the latest version of Apple TV, players can start any game on the iPad, for example, and continue playing it on the big screen.
These games and experiences will be available on Apple TV when it launches in October.
Music! Sports! It’s everything we love in one awesome new game. Only on Apple TV. #BeatSports #AppleEvent pic.twitter.com/c1KbjVfJQF
