Apple Arcade is a game subscription service that offers unlimited access to a growing collection of over 200 premium games — featuring new releases, award winners, and beloved favorites from the App Store, all without ads or in-app purchases. You can play Apple Arcade games on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
Apple Arcade is free to try for 1 month and $4.99 per month after that. And with Family Sharing, you can share your subscription with up to five family members. You can also get 3 months of Apple Arcade free when you buy an Apple device. With Apple One, you can also bundle Apple Arcade with Apple Music, Apple TV+, iCloud storage, and more for a low monthly price.
If you have yet to set foot in the Apple Arcade, then perhaps it’s time you did. Apple Arcade is an easy and affordable way to play popular games on your iPhone and other Apple devices.
When Apple Arcade first launched, it focused on exclusive games, but Apple switched its strategy last year. You will now find several games that are also available in the App Store for a fee (including my favorite tower defense game) and some games that usually have ads or in-app purchases. The Apple Arcade version of a game always has a + added to its name.
For families in the Apple ecosystem, Apple Arcade is an easy sell. I love that it is free of ads and in-app subscriptions, and there’s enough to keep you and your kids amused for a while. I was on the verge of canceling before Apple added more depth with popular mobile games from the App Store because many of the exclusive games, although excellent, are games you play through once.
