The Oregon Trail was released on Apple Arcade in 2021, and it's getting a sister app on the Apple Watch called The Oregon Trail: Steptracker. It will compare your daily steps to the daily steps taken by voyagers on The Oregon Trail--in essence, a fancy way of counting your steps, with some additional features thrown in.
Users will be able to see The Oregon Trail's changing landscapes, different towns, and statistical summaries. According to The Oregon Trail developer Gameloft, if you walked 10,000 steps per day, it'd take you over a year to complete the journey.
