New games have just appeared on Apple's service, Apple Arcade. With their arrival, the Cupertino company has just surpassed the very symbolic mark of 200 games present within its platform.Launched in 2019 by Apple, Apple Arcade aims to be a mobile games servicepremium, operating on a subscription principle which gives access to hundreds of mobile games from the biggest studios.
Recently these areSuper Leap Day,Super Stickman Golf 3+etMonster Hunter Stories+, which have joined the long list of games present on Apple Arcade. In just under two years, the Cupertino company has managed to convince mobile game developers of the merits of its service, and it is starting to have a very well-stocked catalog.
The basic principle of Apple Arcade is to provide access to mobile games, normally paid for, completely free for users. The latter pay a subscription to Apple, of the order of €4.99 per month. One of the big strengths of Apple's service is being able to use a single account on several devices of the same" family ", like Netflix accounts which can be shared on several devices at the same time.
Big names in mobile gaming join the ship
In order to grow the Apple Arcade catalog, Apple has decided since April of this year to reissue historic titles, which have been popular in the App Store. This is particularly the case ofFruit Ninja,Monument Valley,Mini Metroand many others.
The games on Apple Arcade work on all Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Many games are also designedto support controllers, whether those of Xbox or PlayStation.
In order to make the service even more attractive, Apple regularly adds new games to Apple Arcade. In the coming months this should particularly be the case for« MasterChef: Let’s Cook », « Layton’s Mystery Journey+ », « Asphalt Airborne 8+ », « Baldo The Guardian Owls », « Tetris Beat » et « Wurdweb ». Games designed by big names in the world of mobile gaming.
A still fairly small audience
If Apple continues to believe in its service and makes many efforts to develop it, Apple nevertheless suffers from a lack of response from its audience. Although seduced, the latter is quite reluctant to take the plunge and take out a subscription “simply” to play mobile games. In the collective imagination, mobile applications are in fact free, and the people subscribing to Apple's service are ultimately quite few in number.
The arrival of Apple One may have brought a few curious people back to the mobile gaming platform, but the latter is struggling to convince, while competition is beginning to emerge.Recently, Netflix announced its intention to join the mobile games market with its own platform..
