In an attempt to extend an olive branch to streaming game services that were previously barred from the App Store, Apple has announced a new set of guidelines allowing game streaming services like Microsoft xCloud and Google Stadia on the platform for the first time.

Apple’s old rules blocked these streaming apps from the App Store, which essentially means you can’t use them on iOS devices like the iPhone.

Being that these video game streaming services offer an ever-changing lineup of gaming titles, Apple’s position was these types of apps weren’t allowed in its App Store.

So Apple has decided to update its guidelines and open the App Store doors to services like xCloud and Stadia.

Movie and music streaming services like Netflix and Spotify all have apps on the App Store?

"Either Apple fundamentally misunderstands how game streaming works or these guidelines are designed to be a coy play at 'technically' allowing those systems to function while ensuring that the requirements are so onerous that Microsoft, Google, and other up-and-comers simply don't engage,” Michael Futter, co-founder of the consulting firm F-Squared and co-host of the Virtual Economy Podcast," told Mashable.
