In addition to the subscription service of News + digital magazines and newspapers, Apple followed the script that was already speculated and presented. On Monday (25), it introduced Apple Arcade. It’s a subscription service for paid games from the App Store. The idea is to attract exactly those people who do not usually pay for gaming on iOS. This offers many high-quality options in a single package.
During the presentation, the company said it will offer more than 100 new and exclusive games. It will be available only to those who subscribe to the service. The promise of the company is that they will add more titles over time. It will enable the users to save the game. And they can continue the game on any other device as long as it is synchronized with their account.
The company made a point of differentiating Apple Arcade from other streaming services that attracted attention recently. Such as Google Stadia and Microsoft’s xCloud. In Apple Arcade, you can download games and play offline on your device.
