Apple's subscription gaming service Apple Arcade is being updated with four new games today, including Wheel of Fortune Daily, Drive Ahead! Carcade, Arkanoid vs Space Invaders+, and Texas Hold'em Poker: Pokerist+.

Wheel of Fortune Daily is modeled after the popular TV gameshow, providing players with a short daily puzzle to solve. Gameplay works like the TV series, starting with a selection of letters and allowing players to spin the wheel and guess additional letters to solve a phrase.

Drive Ahead! Carcade is a multiplayer PVP car battle game where the players smash into each other until just one car is left standing. Arkanoid vs Space Invaders+ is a classic game that has returned to the iPhone via ‌Apple Arcade‌. It merges the gameplay of both Space Invaders and Arkanoid, and the goal is to reflect attacks to destroy enemies and break blocks.

Texas Hold'em Poker: Pokerist lets players compete against others in a series of casino games like Blackjack, Omaha poker, video poker, Split Bet Poker, and Set Poker. There are weekly tournaments and special modes to play.

‌Apple Arcade‌ is priced at $6.99 per month, which gives up to six members of a Family Sharing group unlimited access to ‌Apple Arcade‌ games. ‌Apple Arcade‌ titles do not have ads or in-app purchases.

Why does a company with the reach, userbase and resources that Apple has, not have a game offering with multiple AAA games?

Why does a company with the reach, userbase and resources that Apple has, not have a game offering with multiple AAA games?
Because people don't play AAA games on the subway or waiting for someone to arrive for lunch.

Yes there's a market for high production value, technology pushing, high quality play action that builds on a deep narrative-- but there's a much bigger market for something, anything, that avoids needing to confront the horror of one's own thoughts in the in-between times.

I really wish they would let me drop Apple Arcade from my Apple One subscription and replace it with Apple News.

Switch doesn't hold a candle to iPhone.

Switch has now shifted over 146.04 million units worldwide since its launch in March 2017 ('https://mynintendonews.com/2024/11/05/nintendo-switch-has-sold-over-146-04-million-units-worldwide/')

In fiscal 2017 [...] Apple saw iPhone unit shipments tick up 2% year over year to 216.8 million units. ('https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/11/08/heres-how-apple-incs-iphone-business-did-in-fiscal.aspx')

I'm guessing sales are declining after 7 years on the market, but even if we assume they're selling a steady 20 million Switch a year, it's taking more than 10 years to match what iPhone sold in 2017 alone.

Apple TV, playing your phone through a TV-- it all misses the point. Yes the hardware could run the games you want, but people don't buy those games in the quantity they buy count-the-cats time wasters.
How in any way is this stat relevant? I have an iPhone, but I wouldn't know what Apple Arcade was if I fell over it. The Switch is a dedicated gaming device purchased by people with one intention and one intention only - to play games. That is not the intended purpose of the iPhone. It is at best a nice bonus for a subset of iPhone customers.

The quality of these "new" games is terrible. They look so cheap and nasty they would have stood out as garbage back on iOS 2 or 3.
