Apple introduced Apple Arcade for the first time at its WWDC annual conference in March. Back then, it offered an overview of what the service aims to offer to its customers. To jog your memory, with Apple Arcade, Apple aims to offer a one-in-all gaming service across mobile, desktop, and living room. And for this, it has created a huge collection of games spread across various categories, in addition to some exclusive titles. To keep things simple, it is using a single-plan subscription scheme so that you don’t have to pay individually for every single title. Furthermore, the service is also offering support for Family Sharing, which means, you can buy a single subscription and enjoy a huge range of game titles with your family members.
Apple Arcade Game Titles
At the event, Apple showcased a few demos of Arcade exclusives from some of the popular game studios, which include ‘Frogger in Toy Town’ from Konami, ‘Shinsekai Deep Sea’ from Capcom, and ‘Sayonara Wild Hearts’ from Annapurna Interactive. Apple says it is planning to add over 100 games in the future.
Some of the titles coming to Apple Arcade include Ballistic Baseball, ChuChu Rocket! Universe, Exit the Gungeon, Overland, PAC-MAN PARTY ROYALE, Projection: First Light, Rayman Mini, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, Skate City, Sneaky Sasquatch, Steven Universe: Unleash the Light, Super Impossible Road, The Bradwell Conspiracy, The Enchanted World, Various Daylife.
Apple Arcade Pricing
Apple has priced its gaming service for a subscription fee of $4.99 per month, which will allow users to enjoy a wide range of gaming titles (with some exclusives) across all devices with their family. Additionally, it is also offering a one-month free subscription plan for users to try out the service beforehand. As for India pricing, the service comes for a fee of Rs 99 per month along with a one-month free subscription plan which is much cheaper than the global pricing.
