Apple Introduces Cooperative Play for 'Crossy Road' Among Other Games for Apple TV

At Apple's media event in San Francisco today, Apple announced an App Store for the new Apple TV that plans to bring unique gaming experiences into a user's living room. The first experience the company showcased was a co-op Crossy Road experience that lets one player use the new Apple TV remote and another to use an iPhone or iPad to control various characters in the game.


Apple also showcased a new game from Harmonix, the studio behind Rock Band and Dance Central, called "Beats Sports" which takes a "Wii Sports" angle on the music rythm game genre. Harmonix confirmed that up to four players will be able to play the game simultaneously with the use of an iPhone or an iPod Touch, similar to Crossy Road's co-operative play.
