Apple Arcade will be adding another four games on Thursday, February 5, with complete details about each game outlined in Apple's announcement.

Retrocade will allow Apple Vision Pro users to play classic arcade games like Asteroids, PAC-MAN, Breakout, Galaga, and Space Invaders in an immersive 3D environment, complete with leaderboards, daily challenges, and more.

Retrocade will also be available on the iPhone and iPad.

An arcade edition of the popular PC game Sid Meier's Civilization VII is also coming to Apple Arcade next month, across the Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The award-winning strategy game tasks players with building the greatest empire in the world.

The other two games coming to Apple Arcade next month are I Love Hue Too+, in which you arrange colorful tiles, and rhythm game Felicity's Door.

Apple Arcade is a subscription service that provides access to hundreds of games across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. All of the games are free of ads and in-app purchases. In the U.S., Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month, and it is also bundled with other Apple services in all Apple One plans.

Apple Arcade can be accessed through the App Store and the Apple Games app.

I'm sure there'll be the usual complaining about Apple Arcade here shortly, but I'll admit that it's been a nice addition to my Apple One bundle. My young daughter loves playing the Sesame Street and Lego games, which are surprisingly high quality. And having access to a Civ game is a welcome way to spend time on the train, waiting for a plane, etc.

Not sure that I'd spend $6.99/mo on its own, but it definitely adds value to my bundle.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually release this on other devices. Some developers (like the Grindstone ones) have used Apple Arcade as a way to evaluate how well a game idea may do. They iterate over time getting feedback from the users so that when they eventually release it elsewhere, it’s got a greater chance to succeed.

Thankfully, there are a host of emulators available for iOS/iPadOS devices in the App Store now. All of those classic games and literally thousands more are readily available outside of Apple's mid subscription service.

While I agree with you, I think to some the accessibility is more important than the feature. Some people just want to access it and are happy paying for it. Why learn a new hobby (installing emulators/roms) when you can just give Apple 6 bucks a month

there's such a small user base of us Vision Pro users, WHYY do the nicer apps need to be stuck in Apple Arcade, which I have zero interest in subscribing too 😫

Yeah I saw this announcement elsewhere but the Apple Arcade requirement wasn’t part of that announcement. So bummed; was looking forward to asteroids and space invaders.
 
Exciting but for strange reason it made me wonder why don’t we get more retro games..

All old Nintendo/sega etc they are on Xbox and PlayStation
 
Retrocade! Finally something I'm interested in. I get Apple Arcade with my One subscription, and I have played many games. But not in months. I rarely even think about it because month after month it's games for toddlers.

I hope Retrocade is only the beginning. I'd love to see the classic Williams games come back - Defender, Stargate, Joust, Robotron and Sinistar.

If Defender comes back, I’m going to need one of those AI hands with 7 fingers…


Would love Robotron and Sinistar (I hunger!) for sure.
