Get Free Apple Arcade: Halfbrick Teams Up With Apple to Promote Bluey Fruit Ninja Event

[MacRumors]

Halfbrick has teamed up with Apple's App Store team to offer Fruit Ninja fans a free month of Apple Arcade. The deal is available for both new and returning Apple Arcade subscribers.

New subscribers can get up to two free months, pairing the free Halfbrick month with a one-month free trial. Existing subscribers are eligible for a one month subscription to play Fruit Ninja and other Apple Arcade games.

To get the free month of Apple Arcade, you can sign up on Halfbrick's website. Promo codes are available in the United States, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany, Japan, Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico. If you're not in the U.S., make sure to select your country from the dropdown menu. Apple Arcade promo codes are limited, so make sure to sign up soon.

Halfbrick is offering the promotion to celebrate a fun Bluey-themed event taking place this summer. Popular Apple Arcade game Fruit Ninja Classic+ has been updated with Bluey-themed wands, powers, dojos, and other easter eggs. It's worth checking out with the free month of Apple Arcade if you're a fan of Fruit Ninja or Bluey. There are a series of four in-game Bluey events that are available through August 13, with special in-game prizes available to unlock.

Apple Arcade is normally priced at $6.99 per month. There are more than 200 games available, with no in-app purchases or ads.

I'd like to play it on my Mac mini!
Have a high refresh rate display (up to 240 Hz) and a gaming mouse and the mouse pointer is very responsive. Think it would work well to slice some fruits with Bluey's family.

But maybe it will just cause wrist issues... :-/

Make it a free one year trial and I still won’t sign up to Arcade - just bury that corpse already.

Free Apple Arcade, that sounds about right on the price point...if it were permanent.

Quality mobile game developers are in such a strange place right now.

The really creative smaller studios like Halfbrick can’t compete against the freemium slop in the regular App Store… so Apple Arcade is one of the few good ways to get funding and cash flow.

But the public reception/interest to Arcade seems really bad and I’m not sure how long it’ll last.

As a someone who’s launched mobile games on the App Store, apple arcade presents itself as a viable way to make quality games that don’t have to rely on predatory mechanics to grift money from your players. But it seems like people just don’t care

People don’t care about bad games nor feel like paying for such a cartoonish, pathetic service such as AA - it’s as simple as that. Even Netflix games (included with the normal subscription) are infinitely better.

I'm sure that some people would like the offer but, for myself, I have no interest in Apple Arcade even if it is free.

Sadly I don’t really have time for mini games as I get older. Unless the game is really really epic.

Free access for a month is good. Can browse the catalogue and see. However Arcade requires good quality games. As of now cannot recommend subscribing monthly.
