Snoopy screensavers arrive on Apple TV with tvOS 18.2

AppleInsider

Apple has rolled out tvOS 18.2, a relatively minor update mostly focused on bug fixes and performance upgrades -- but this time, you get new screensavers, too.

Snoopy comes to Apple TV

The recently introduced Snoopy screensavers were initially announced back in June at WWDC 2024. They can be used in conjunction with the existing screensaver options, including Memories & Slideshows and Portraits, which were introduced as part of the tvOS 18 update.

Apple has collaborated with "Peanuts" in the past, releasing multiple specials on Apple TV+ over the years. Apple Watch users have been able to use watch faces featuring Snoopy.

Every year, Apple offers free viewing of "Peanuts" holiday specials, such as "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Apple TV+ subscribers, however, can watch these specials at any time.

I have 2nd Generation Apple Tv 4Ks in all of the rooms in my house and after updating none of them show the Snoopy screensavers to have been downloaded. What is going on?

That’s great 🙄 i guess we have to wait for an eventual new Apple TV hopefully it has A17 Pro or better in it for future proofing for AI and gaming

Snoopy was being considered by IBM as the advertising mascot for the IBM PC, over 40 years ago, but they settled for Charlie Chaplin instead.
