I put together a quick command line tool to help with grabbing all the wallpapers, useful for people on Linux.
Check it here.
is there a way to access the newly launched screensavers from tvOS 26?

Currently no, at least I couldn't find them in the manifests. Maybe they will be live in a future update (but I can't test since I don't have an Apple Silicon Mac or an Apple TV).

I didn't check the recent binaries but based on your comment, I randomly tried : https://configuration.apple.com/configurations/internetservices/aerials/resources-config-15-0.plist
And yep, it's here, it points to this : https://sylvan.apple.com/itunes-assets/Aerials126/v4/82/2e/34/822e344c-f5d2-878c-3d56-508d5b09ed61/resources-15-0-2.tar
There are 137 videos, the classic 134 + the 3 new Sequoia ones that are in a new subcategory.
Pushing an update for my Aerial screensaver later today with those.
That manifest remains 240 FPS only though. At that point I'm not sure what tvOS uses as a manifest for the HDR ones ? Maybe it's still on resources-15.tar or they use a built-in one.
