Games & 3D

14 frameworks

The Games & 3D area provides the frameworks for building games and rendering three-dimensional content across Apple platforms. Its frameworks supply 2D and 3D scene graphs, model asset import and description, game logic such as pathfinding, state machines, and AI, and input from game controllers, along with Game Center services for leaderboards, achievements, and matchmaking. SwiftUI bridges and cross-import overlays integrate these engines into modern app interfaces, including spatial tabletop experiences on visionOS.
