Manticore Games announced Friday that Core, a free PC-based app built on Unreal Engine that lets you create and play games, is going to be available on both Mac and iPad this summer. The move to Apple's platforms could mark a significant expansion for Core since the app is only available on Windows.

There are more than 50,000 games, worlds, and events to check out if you check out Core's one-year anniversary on Friday. Developers who want to get a jump on preparing their experiences for mobile can begin working with a suite of iOS optimization tools on Friday.

Core isn't the only metaverse-y app making the jump to more platforms, as Meta said this week that it's working on web and mobile versions of Horizon Worlds. The hugely popular app, which is already available on PC, Mac, mobile, and more, is hiring for a Sony engineer, suggesting that it could eventually come to the company's consoles.
