‘AG Drive’ Updated for Universal Apple TV Support

The futuristic high-speed racing game AG Drive was recently updated to support the Apple TV.

If you somehow missed the boat on this one, AG Drive is a high-speed racer in the vein of Wipeout or F-Zero. What sets AG Drive out from the pack is its incredible graphics and buttery-smooth 60fps performance, thanks to its Metal-powered backend.

AG Drive isn’t perfect. Despite being released over a year ago, it still feels unfinished. There are only a handful of courses and vehicles, and future racing tiers are still promised to be “coming soon”. But still, even based on what is here, AG Drive is easily among the best racing games on the App Store.

This new Apple TV version adds one important new feature, and it’s a big one: split-screen multiplayer. For the first time, you can pair multiple controllers and race against a friend. Impressively, there doesn’t appear to be any performance hit to running the game in split-screen – everything still looks incredible and runs at 60fps.

AG Drive is a breath of fresh air after the terrible Apple TV port of Real Racing 3. Despite its flaws, I would say AG Drive is the best racing game you can get on the Apple TV right now. And if you’re looking for something to show off the performance of Apple’s new game console, this is a terrifically impressive demonstration, and well worth the $3.99 price.
