If you’re into playing games, there are thousands of fantastic titles on the App Store for you to enjoy. On top of that, there are a number of apps that could help you make the most of your experiences.

Whether you want to read the latest opinions from other players across the world or broadcast your record-setting speedruns, these apps will help you do it.

How many times have you defeated a final boss or completed a tricky level, but no one was around to see your epic achievement?

Thank goodness then for Twitch – a video-streaming platform where gamers can broadcast themselves playing their favourite titles, chat to other users and even build a following of fans as a streamer.

Browse titles to find who’s playing your favourites like a pro – who knows, you might even pick up some tips along the way.

Modern game culture is as social as you want it to be. Gone are the days of Player 1 and Player 2 – there’s now a whole world of gamers out there for you to connect with, and Discord helps you do that.

You have complete control over the chat servers you create and the app even integrates with services like Xbox Live, Reddit and Twitch so you can add your inner circle. It’s free to download, with a Discord Nitro premium service available for either a monthly or annual fee.

Reddit is well-known for being a hive of hot takes on the latest news and viral videos. It’s a forum to share everything from your spin on breaking gaming news and memes to proud photos of your entire Pokémon cartridge collection.

With the Reddit app you can stay up-to-date wherever you are and post links, images, video and text to keep the conversation going. Join single-topic subreddits like r/gaming to get a sense of what your fellow gamers really think.
