Apple Arcade says five new games are coming
Apple has unveiled the next five game titles preparing to make the jump to Apple Arcade in the coming months, these include card, racing, adventure, arcade and spatial reality games. Though they sadly don’t yet include an immersive MMORG on par with Diablo Immortal, which still looks like a missed opportunity to this commentator.
However, if you want lightweight games for moments on the train when commuting, or titles you can safely leave your children to play even though they are suffering from terrible mood swings as the result of what might be seen as an addiction to Roblox, here’s what’s coming from June 5. Apple Arcade features more than 200 games, playable across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.
UNO: Arcade Edition by Mattel163
UNO: Arcade Edition features vibrant visuals, exciting Apple Arcade-exclusive gameplay, and multiple ways for UNO fans to play. Players can unwind with entertaining solo matches using classic UNO rules, or turn up the heat with a new Custom Games mode featuring new options like Wild Swap Hands and Color Showdown. With three game modes (Quick Match, Custom Games, and Single Player) and rich customizations — including unlockable creative frames, special effects, and emotes — every game feels fun and fresh. Whether playing solo or enjoying matches with friends and family, UNO: Arcade Edition delivers an entertaining and engaging experience anywhere.
WHAT THE CAR? by Triband
Indie developer Triband’s hilarious racing adventure takes on a whole new dimension. Using a floating TV portal with legs and an extendable steering wheel, players with Apple Vision Pro will use their hands — as if holding a physical steering wheel — to maneuver an unconventional race car with constantly changing features, such as legs, wings, and even the common cold. The wacky gameplay elements leverage spatial computing to pop out of the screen, making each race an adventure full of lively twists and turns.
LEGO Hill Climb Adventures+ by Fingersoft
LEGO Hill Climb Adventures+ invites players on a grand adventure where the creative charm of LEGO meets the wild physics-based gameplay of Hill Climb Racing. Players will race, explore, and build their way through dynamic locations — from sunny countrysides to the highest mountains and the daunting great below. With a cast of lovable LEGO Minifigures, upgradeable vehicles equipped with unique gadgets, and hidden secrets around every turn, the game offers a perfect mix of discovery, strategy, and action.
Lost in Play+ by Happy Juice Games and Snapbreak Games
The 2023 App Store Awards winner for iPad Game of the Year, Lost in Play+ is a journey through childhood imagination with thoughtfully crafted puzzles and colorful characters. Players must help a brother-and-sister duo on an adventure to find their way back home, exploring enchanted forests, outwitting quirky goblins, and befriending magical creatures. The young siblings’ adventure is filled with clever puzzles, minigames, and dreamlike surprises. With no dialogue, point-and-click gameplay, and a handcrafted animation style, Lost in Play+ is a wholesome and delightful interactive cartoon where fantasy and curiosity come to life.
Helix Jump+ by Voodoo and Orbital Knight
Helix Jump+ is the classic 3D arcade game and genre-defining hit, reimagined exclusively for Apple Arcade — with reworked haptic, enhanced visual effects, exclusive unlockable skins, and no ads or interruptions. Players will guide a bouncing ball through vibrant, twisting helix towers, timing their drops with precision to avoid traps and smash through platforms in a test of rhythm and momentum.
