To view them on your Apple TV, you first need to ensure that you've updated your Apple TV to tvOS 13. Whilst you can't manually download these screen savers, you can go to settings and change the frequency at which your TV downloads new screen savers. If you update this to daily, you'll probably begin to see the new screen savers very soon. You can start a screen saver at any time by pressing the home button on your remote whilst viewing the homepage. Whilst a screen saver is playing, you can tap the touch part of your Apple remote to reveal the location of the shot. Swiping left and right will allow you to switch between screen savers, and tapping left or right will change track if you have music playing. All of the new screen savers are also available in 4K for the Apple TV 4L.
