Apple released a paid subscription service called Apple Arcade back in 2019 that allows players to access high-quality ad free games for a small subscription fee every month. While it had some fun games at launch like Assemble with Care and What the Golf?, the initial selection was a little lacking on content. However, with a recent surprise drop of 32 new games to Apple Arcade, fans now have more games to play than ever before.
What some have dubbed the second generation of the Apple Arcade has seen the mobile giant add a wide variety of games to their subscription platform. There are games that range from mobile adaptations and classic games to exclusives from renowned developers. In addition to their 32 new titles, there have also been three releases listed as coming soon: Leo's Fortune, Legends of Kingdom Rush, and Frenzic: Overtime. Gamers won't be stuck waiting around though, as they now have this wide library to take advantage of, with the biggest being quite notable themselves.
