I just ordered the MAXED OUT 64GB 2021 AppleTV with the ULTIMATELY designed new remote.

Oh yeah, and that's not all. As a member of APPLE ONE service where I Have ALL THE SERVICE apple has to offer, I now have the ULTIMATE APPLE TV Package. I cannot wait to connect my XBOX SERIES ONE CONTROLLER into my AppleTV through THE LATEST AND GREATEST bluetooth technologies to play some games.

My question before it arrives this Monday and my ULTIMATE MASSIVE 55" 4K Toshiba gets here on Thursday is.... what is all of your impressions of Apple Arcade on AppleTV?! Is it a hit or a miss?!
 
Happy for you, congrats on the new device. I’d say that Apple Arcade has many good mobile games, but nothing comparable with PS, XBOX or even Nintendo AAA type of games. If you’re a casual gamer looking for light games (the kind you would play on your iPhone), Apple Arcade is great, has a nice offering for everyone and graphics are pretty good even on Apple TV. Nothing revolutionary, but like you, I have the service through Apple One and it’s a nice addition

And on Apple TV, a controller is a must because Siri Remote is terrible for gaming, but you’ll already use one so no problem

The 2021 Siri remote isn’t compatible with games anyway.
I wouldn’t say the old Siri remote is totally terrible for the odd game as works quite well for Minion Rush.

TV setup sounds alright, and a good choice of controller. But lets be honest, OP, your "ultimate, maxed-out, latest and greatest, massive" TV is wasted on something like Apple Arcade. Look into the consoles, or even consider a gaming PC. You'll get far more mileage out of games for those platforms that way.
