Apple Arcade is getting nine new games Apfelpatient

Apple Arcade is ramping up its efforts: Nine new titles will be added in the coming weeks – including an arcade football game, the digital version of a well-known TV game show, and four ad-free App Store hits.

Apple is expanding its Apple Arcade gaming service with nine new games, further growing its catalog of over 200 titles. The new additions will be released over several weeks: some are available now, with more to follow in late June and early July. This monthly release schedule is a regular feature of the service – just this past May saw the addition of Nick Jr. Replay and three other family-friendly titles. As always, all games are ad-free and free of in-app purchases.

Four games available now

The launch features four titles that are playable right from the start. Mini Football Legends offers arcade-style football: players can compete for the title in individual tournaments or team up in local co-op and multiplayer modes. My Talking Tom 2+ revolves around caring for a virtual pet, while Coffee Inc 2+ lets you build a global coffee empire from the ground up. For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, FreeCell Solitaire: Card Game+ offers endless rounds of the classic card game.

Family Feud Pocket launches June 30th

On June 30th, Family Feud Pocket, the digital adaptation of the popular game show, arrives on Apple Arcade. The game faithfully recreates the quiz experience on iPhone and other Apple devices, and features the iconic host Steve Harvey. It offers classic gameplay mechanics, daily challenges, and exclusive questions. Players can enjoy the game solo or with others – both locally and online in multiplayer mode, at home or on the go. The title was developed by Gameloft.

Four App Store hits from July 2nd

In July, four successful games from the App Store will migrate to the service – without ads and without in-app purchases. Available from July 2nd are Dungeon Clawler+, which combines the strategic depth of a roguelike deckbuilder with the unpredictability of a claw machine (developed by Stray Fawn Studio), and Creatures of the Deep+, a single-player fishing adventure revolving around ancient secrets, legendary creatures, and hidden treasures (Infinite Dreams).

In addition, there's Pocket City 2+, an accessible take on the city-building genre where you can construct and then explore a sprawling metropolis (Engaged Games), and Draw It+, which challenges both talented artists and casual doodlers to sketch concepts from a wide range of prompts and score points before time runs out (Kwalee).

Prices and availability

Apple Arcade costs €6.99 per month or €49.99 per year and offers a one-month free trial. Customers who purchase a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV receive three months free. The service is also included in all Apple One plans: Individual for €19.95, Family for €25.95, and Premium for €34.95 per month, each with a one-month trial.

Arcade Originals can be played on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro; titles imported from the App Store can be played on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. One subscription gives a family of up to six people unlimited access to the entire catalog. Availability of the over 200 games may vary depending on hardware and software compatibility.

Apple Arcade maintains a monthly schedule

With this latest push, Apple remains true to its strategy of continuously expanding its catalog with a mix of exclusive Arcade games and familiar App Store titles. The family focus is once again striking: from soccer fields and TV game shows to virtual pets, the selection covers a wide age range and underscores how much Apple Arcade emphasizes shared gaming within the household.
