Apple’s mobile game subscription service has been steadily running since its 2019 launch. In addition to adding new games monthly, Apple has revitalized the service with larger surprises of this scale. In 2021, the serviceadded over 30 gamesand changed its model to bundle older mobile games into the platform. Today’s update isn’t quite that big, but it’s one of the service’s most substantial updates yet.
Of the 20 games, four of them are brand new.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, a four-playerco-op roguelikein the vein ofHades, is the biggest addition of the batch. Also available today isDisney SpellStruck, a riff onWords With Friendsstarring Disney and Pixar characters. It features a full single-player adventure mode, daily challenges, unlockable characters with board-changing abilities, and standard online play.
In addition to those IP heavy hitters,What the Golf?follow upWhat the Car?is available now. The absurdist racing game has players controlling a car with legs (and a jetpack, and some bears) completing short, comedic challenges. Rounding out the new additions isCityscapes: Sim Builder, a city builder that has players trying to build and maintain sustainable cities.
Digital Trends played all four titles at a recent Apple event prior to launch. All four continue Apple’s streak of releasing high-quality mobile titles that don’t have ads or microtransactions. All four are entirely different — from a casual word game to a systems-heavy city management game — showing off the diverse audiences Arcade currently caters to.
In addition to those, Apple Arcade is adding 16 more classic games to the service. The full list includes indie darlings likeLimbo, as well as mobile staples likeTemple Run. Here’s the full list of games available now.
All 20 games are available right now viaApple Arcade, with subscriptions offered for $5 a month.
