I have a wired Apple TV and the Apple TV app on my smart TV and phone.
I have purchased games (jack box) from the App Store to play and they show up on my wired Apple TV but they don’t show on my Apple TV app.
Is there anyway to fix that? I don’t want to have to keep using my wired Apple TV just for the games.
The Apple TV+ APP is just for APPLE TV+ only.
No games from the app store through it at all.
Your devices are working as they are expected to work.
The Apple TV app is just for streaming shows it does not have any of the functionality of an actual Apple TV device. The shows stream at a lower bitrate when using the Apple TV app on non Apple devices.

They don’t show up IN the TV app on your Apple TV, so there is no reason to think they’d show up in the TV app on your TV…
The TV app on your TV is not an Apple TV box emulator, it’s just the 1 app (of thousands that you can put on your Apple TV box).
