What The Golf is, so far, the biggest surprise win on the service for me.
I doubt a new one is coming anytime soon. Usually AppleTV is announced during the iPhone event. However Apple is known to change things around. But there has been no rumors of new AppleTV hardware.
Probably the same time as iPadOS (around 10am PST) so give it a shot! I was able to access Apple Arcade after midnight yesterday and it worked perfectly!

My only issue with WTG were the gyro levels (I was playing on my iPad) and I swear to god I want to murder the car level more than anything. I’m stuck on the crown for a par level where I have to race other cars. I know I’ll eventually get it but it’s made me both switch to my phone and want to throw my damn phone across the room. Otherwise I couldn’t love the game more, but these levels I HATE
I hope they release games similar to the family friendly ones Nintendo has abandoned in the Switch like Wii Sports.
I don't know what apps you use or what catastrophe you're trying to avoid, but I think you may being a bit overly cautious. iOS 13 has been running great for me on my XR. It even seemed to fix up some bugs that I was having from iOS 12.
Yes. The game selection in Apple Arcade will be identical on iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and macOS.
I have the 4th gen and Oceanhorn 2 looks fantastic. I didn't get to play for a long time this morning, but it holds up - I haven't noticed frame rate issues yet.
I'll put more games through their paces when I get time.
I appreciate your feedback, because this is the only report I've seen so far, from a PCWorld writer:
"Trying to play Apple Arcade games on a 4th-gen Apple TV with a PS4 controller. Input is unbearably laggy. Anyone else experiencing this?"
Anyone who likes pinball should try The Pinball Wizard, a mashup of simplified dungeon RPG and pinball. I can see this game spawning a lot of copycat titles. It works surprisingly well with traditional pinball skills, but also has it's own unique challenges.
Trying out Oceanhorn 2 on the Apple TV with an Xbox One Controller. Apple just made the Apple TV a legit console!
Oooh, downloading now.

One of us! One of us! 😂
I'm hoping for something around the Switch on the CEI (console experience index, a thing I just made up but I'm totally going to start using) with the ATV. And if that turns out to be true... well, I'll be buying a few more controllers to pass around the livingroom!
I'm waiting until it's officially avail on Apple TV before starting my free trial! Does anyone know how the Family Sharing service works?
Can Family Sharing be used JUST for Apple Arcade or does family sharing automatically incorporate the other Apple services? I was hoping to use it just for Arcade...

Family sharing doesn’t work on this at the moment. I signed in for my daughter, but trying to enter a game on her account first took us to a splash screen with no way of actually entering said game and now, after a restart, clicking on the games on the home screen doesn't even do that; nothing happens. If I switch back to my lead account, it’s fine.
I’m having the exact same problem!! Same issue on both my daughters’ accounts. But like you, when I go back to MY profile, everything works.
Here’s the splash screen for anyone that’s interested:
