Apple Arcade is set to expand its game library with some exciting new additions. Four new games will be available starting February 5, offering a variety of gaming experiences. One of the highlights is Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Arcade Edition, a strategy game that lets players build and manage their own empires. This game is known for its deep strategy and historical depth, allowing players to shape their civilization's future through key decisions.
In addition to Civilization VII, Apple Arcade will introduce Retrocade, a game that brings back the nostalgia of classic arcade games. Players can enjoy titles like Asteroids and Galaga, just like they were played in the '80s. This game is perfect for those who love retro gaming and want to relive the golden age of arcades.
Felicity’s Door is another new game that offers a unique experience. This rhythm game takes players on a journey through a magical world of dreams, featuring beautiful visuals and engaging gameplay. Players will join the twins Tom and Felicity as they explore different environments, from space to cyberpunk cities.
Lastly, I Love Hue Too+ is a puzzle game that focuses on color and light. Players arrange colored tiles to create perfectly ordered spectra, offering a relaxing and visually appealing experience.
Apple Arcade continues to update its catalog with new games and exclusive events. For example, on January 22, Paddington will return for a limited-time event in Crayola Create and Play+. Players can enjoy winter-themed activities and games, making it a fun experience for all ages.
For those interested in trying out these new games, Apple Arcade offers a subscription service. It is available for $6. 99 per month with a one-month free trial. New customers who purchase a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV receive three months of Apple Arcade for free. The service is also part of Apple One’s Individual, Family, and Premier monthly plans, each offering a one-month free trial.
Apple Arcade is designed to be family-friendly, allowing up to six family members to share the subscription. The service is available on various devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. However, the availability of games may vary based on hardware and software compatibility, and some content may not be available in all areas.
