With the launch of the iPhone 11, Apple today announced that Apple Arcade will be available on the App Store from Thursday, September 19 with iOS 13. It will also offer an all-new way to enjoy games without limits. Apple Arcade users will get unlimited access to the entire catalog of over 100 new, exclusive games, all playable across iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple TV.

The best part of this launch was a one-month free trial period for subscription-based service. Apple Arcade games can all be played offline, and a single subscription includes access for up to six family members with Family Sharing.

Apple Arcade can be a solid competitor for the other existing services

At first, it sounded great that Apple came up with this kind of subscription-based service. But thinking about a gamer, we know that people already have their own console or gaming PC. Those people are already paying for one or the other subscription service.

In the present time, the market is flooded with video game subscription services like Xbox Game Pass, Discord Nitro, etc. The latest entry is made by Google Play Pass, which will also start its service very soon. Practically, a normal video gamer can only afford one or two of them.

But that being said, if the games deliver, there is no doubt this is a solid competitor for the other services. So at this point, we can’t comment much on whether it can be successful or not but we will follow the future course of action taken by these companies.
