Apple's TVOS has a new home screen.

 Apple

Apple's TVOS 13 is out in the wild. The updated operating system for Apple TV streaming media devices launched Tuesday alongside updates to iOS 13 and iPadOS, bringing with it a new home screen, new screen savers, support for multiple users and expanded game controller support for Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox and Apple Arcade. 

Apple Arcade is Apple's new gaming subscription service that costs $4.99 per month. The service lets Apple users play games across iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac and Apple TV devices.

According to a release from Apple, the multiple-user support in TVOS "makes it easy to switch between family members so everyone gets their own personalized entertainment experience." 

TVOS 13 is available for the Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD devices. 

Separately, the Apple TV Plus streaming subscription service is set to launch Nov. 1 for $5 per month.
