Apple Arcade offers ad‑free, curated games for iPhone and other Apple devices

Apple Arcade is a subscription service that gives users access to a curated library of more than 200 games across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. The catalog includes titles such as Sonic Dream Team, Angry Birds Reloaded, Doodle Jump 2 and exclusive releases like Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop. All games are ad‑free and contain no microtransactions, providing a console‑like experience on mobile devices.

The service costs $6.99 per month (or equivalent local pricing) and comes with a free trial period – a one‑week trial for new users and a three‑month free subscription bundled with many new iPhone purchases. Apple Arcade aims to revive the fun‑first spirit of early mobile gaming while eliminating the clutter and monetisation pressures common on the broader App Store.

By consolidating the titles under a dedicated Arcade tab, Apple makes it easy for users to discover and play games without additional sign‑ins or large downloads, positioning the platform as a premium alternative to the fragmented free‑to‑play market.
