What is Apple Arcade?

Anyone who owns an Apple product has access to Apple Arcade, the gaming subscription service that gives you unlimited access to a multitude of games.

Apple Arcade gives Apple users the chance to game on their devices, whether that be on an iPhone, iPad or Mac.

We’re going to be running through everything you need to know about Apple Arcade, including how much it costs, what devices you can play on and what games are available. Keep reading to find out if this game subscription is right for you.

What is Apple Arcade

Apple Arcade is a video game subscription service that gives you access to over 200 games on the App Store.

Every game in the subscription service can be played offline, meaning that you can keep gaming on long train journeys or if you’re up in the sky on a plane.

There are also no adverts and all games are fully featured from launch, with no DLC arriving later for an inflated fee. Moreover, Apple confirmed that there is no ad tracking within the service, which gives users more privacy. 

What devices support Apple Arcade?

Apple Arcade is, unsurprisingly, designed for Apple devices.

Anyone who wants to experience Apple Arcade will need to own an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac or an Apple TV. Not every game is supported on Macs and Apple TVs, but there is still a wide selection.

How much does Apple Arcade cost?

Apple Arcade is currently £4.99/$4.99 a month. New users have access to a one-month free trial, while anyone who buys an iPhone is given the option of a three-month free trial. 

Since Apple Arcade comes with a multitude of games and can be used across multiple Apple devices, the subscription charge is not too outlandish for what you’re getting.
