Apple Arcade regularly brings new titles to the platform. In May 2025, five new games will be added, covering a wide range of genres \u2013 from animal simulations to creative puzzles to a new multiplayer mayhem game from the creators of WHAT THE CAR?. As always, all new games are playable without ads and without in-app purchases on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you use Apple Arcade, you get access to a curated collection of over 200 games, which is regularly expanded and updated. In May, five new titles will be added, including a direct sequel to an award-winning game and several classics with fresh takes. At the same time, many existing games will also be enhanced with new content. This overview summarizes all the new releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT THE CLASH? \u2013 New minigames from the WHAT THE creators<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

WHAT THE CLASH? is the latest game from Triband, the studio behind WHAT THE CAR?, which was named "Mobile Game of the Year" at the DICE Awards in early 2024. The new title features a mix of different mini-games such as table tennis, archery, tag, and racing. You can play alone or compete with others in local multiplayer. The modifier system is unique: unlockable cards create combinations such as Giraffle, Toasty Archery, or Milk the Fish. This makes every match slightly chaotic and often quite surprising. You play as "The Hand," an elastic hand with legs that you can customize with accessories such as eye patches or outfits. The goal is to climb the rankings, win tournaments, or simply play silly matches with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Buddy \u2013 Pet care with style<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My Buddy is a simulation game in which you adopt virtual pets \u2013 dogs or cats, each with their own personality and unique appearance. You accompany them through different stages of life, caring for them, playing with them, and dressing them. You can also decorate their rooms and interact with them at any time. The game emphasizes emotional bonding and everyday life with pets, packaged in a straightforward gaming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
