Given what's happening right now in the video game world with AI and web versions of games, this is a hilarious title for an event.

No Man's Sky as a $20 onlock on iPhone/iPad is a crazy good deal! It's an incredibly rich game that can be played at anything from a relax-and-chill mode to an intense survival struggle mode. And it has never introduced a single micro transaction in the 10 years since launch. It's just a boundless procedural universe open for exploration.

It sounds like the initial launch will not support cross-saves from other platforms, but if they add this feature then I expect I will want to add this as an option to my Xbox play.

Now if only this would lead to a full immersive VR mode on Apple VisionPro!!!

The 7 games are great but the 7 games is not enough. There should have been 7 games a day if Apple was serious about gaming.
