Actually, MOST of the standard and exclusives do, it is these re-released and remastered classics that do not. What I'd be curious is, not owning an M1 Mac, do the remastered classics run on M1 Macs?
Everybody harps about the $5. $5 is nothing, plus I would imagine so so so many people get arcade as part of the Apple One subscription, which you can get into for $15 a an individual, giving you Arcade, Music, tv+, and 50 GB of storage. At $20, you get the $15 family music plus 200 GB storage and the ability to share the arcade and tv and storage with up to 5 people. At those prices, for most people arcade is much less than $5 or even less than $1...
Last month it (Fruit Ninja) was not on Apple Arcade, so obviously they are not talking about the one on Apple Arcade, which would not have ads or in-app purchases...
The new category of classic games brought in are not required to. Only games developed new and released only for arcade do. These are to be viewed as bonus additions, not part of the arcade exclusives.
I can tell you that the Oregon Trail is available on the M1 Mac, actually quite a few of the Apple Arcade games are available on the M1 Mac. I hesitate to say "all" only because the Apple Arcade's...interface...makes it hard to compare between devices. I get completely different suggestions under Apple Arcade than I do on my iPhone and as much as I love empirical curiosity, I'm waaaaaaay too lazy to go through all 150+ games.
That said though, I'd be more than willing to search specific games/apps for anyone who doesn't have an M1 and wants to know if any are available.
It seems to me the titles with the ”+” at the end (for example Fruit Ninja Classic+, Monument Valley+ and Chameleon Run+) don't have Mac versions, but Cut the Rope Remastered has. Wonder if it will stay that way or not.
The remastered classics should run OK on M1 Macs albeit not necessarily natively. Or are you asking which games on Arcade that are Apple Silicon native? Apple has a section in Arcade called ”Optimized for Mac with M1” which currently lists 14 titles – none of the re-released classics are there at this time.
Do you think with the new appletv upgrade we will ever see games of the calibre of borderlands 3 ?
Or am I hopelessly optimistic... ?

Yeah that's kind of what I mean. Will we see exclusive m1 games that are essentially repackaged iOS games that they never ported to the Intel Macs
Apple Arcade does away with games that ask for in app purchases or purchases of any kind. Guess you got that individually but I definitely feel your pain and dislike the annoying push for pay pay pay.
Right?!
at first it was top tier games going freemium (1st person shooters back on iOS 4 and 3GS), then the entire crap tactic catalog of games went freemium while productivity apps went fermium or subscription.
Subscription for redundant apps (Adobe & Microsoft here), or apps that barely add usable features for end users when the core features have been there for over a decade, still work and no real incentive to upgrade for most !!
ms office suite - from 2010 works just as every bit well on all ms documents today as does 2019. Wow the UI gets a facelift but most “new features” are a joke!
Photoshop and others in the Adobe suite as well. Unless you work for a publication or work in graphical arts and publishing the latest and greatest doesn’t really offer you more.
a reckoning needs to happen here.
And required to pay $5 a month for the same experience
like your cable to, internet and school course fees - TH shows on rerun that you’ve seen before, course you can learn from books internet or library, home internet when you have mobile on your phone; sound familiar?
same experience it’s about what’s new within and more and convenience.
Old post I know but learning about Arcade before I actually start using what I’m paying for
