The New Gaming System Apple Arcade

Everything you need to know Apple Arcade

Apple Arcade is a video game subscription service by Apple Inc., which will be released for iOS, iPad OS, and Mac OS on September 19, 2019. It was announced on March 2019.

Apple shed more light on its Apple Arcade service during its iPhone 11 launch. Apple Arcade now has an India price and (official) release date — the iPhone maker's subscription-based video gaming service will cost Rs.99 per month after a one-month free trial and will be available September 19 — the same day as the launch of iOS 13 — in more than 150 countries worldwide. As previously announced, Apple Arcade will also be compatible with ‘Family Sharing' at no extra charge, which means a total of six individuals can access all available games across all supported devices.

The Apple Arcade subscription service for games is just the latest sign of Apple getting on the gaming bandwagon – with a curated list of exclusive titles all set to come to your iPhones, iPad, Macbook computers and even Apple TV at an affordable monthly cost.

And in a good move, all Apple Arcade games will have no in-app purchases, so you don't have to worry about forking over any more money over your monthly subscription cost. (That's on top of having no in-game advertisements, which is expected from any subscription-based offering.) Moreover, all Apple Arcade titles will also be playable offline, though that will naturally not apply to any game's online multiplayer components with a commitment of Privacy.

It works with Screen Time and has parental controls. Apple Arcade has a good heritage behind it – Apple was arguably the first company to take mobile gaming seriously and make it financially viable, and as a result, it's now got the backing of some of the most important names in mobile game development.

Lastly, you'll be able to use the PS4's DualShock 4 and Xbox One controllers for Arcade games on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, thanks to Apple baking in support for those devices with iOS 13, iPad OS, and tvOS 13, respectively. It's Apple's take on the whole "Netflix-for-gaming" approach – tying gamers into a monthly subscription that gives them access to top-quality video gaming adventures that aren't available anywhere else.
