If we’re looking at a game that doesn’t use a lot of hardware resources like Candy Crush or Angry Birds, those could possibly run quite well as a PWA?

In particular, all game streaming services (Geforce Now, Xbox Game Pass etc.) have until very recently needed to exist as PWAs since Apple would not let them into the App Store.

The crucial PWA feature here is being able to display them in full screen, without Safari's navigation bar.
