In today’s Tech Bytes, a new move is underway to enforce age verification on app stores. Texas has become the second state to require Apple and Google to verify the age of app store users. The new law mandates parental consent for downloads or purchases made by minors under 18. Utah was the first state to pass a similar law.

Apple is set to unveil its new gaming app on June 9th, which will replace Game Center. The app will come pre-installed on all devices, from iPhones to Apple TVs. It is expected to promote Apple Arcade and streamline how users find and download games.

Finally, the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 will hit stores next week. Best Buy is making it easier for gamers to get their hands on the new console. For the first time in six years, most of its locations will open at midnight on June 5th for pre-order pickups.
