- Balatro+ is the new addition to the gaming platform
- Numerous games have also been updated

As we prepare to close out this month, the iPhone maker has released a final update for Apple Arcade, bringing a highly anticipated title to the gaming subscription service alongside a slew of other updates. After a bit of anticipation, Balatro, one of this year's biggest indie hits, is finally part of Apple's main gaming platform.
Available in the App Store as Balatro+, you can enjoy this smash hit on virtually any Apple device as long as you subscribe to their service. If you've never heard of this game, think of it as poker with power-ups. In Balatro you will be able to combine poker hands with cards with different abilities.
Just like in real poker, you have to plan strategically. But here you'll also need to focus on creating distinctive builds that take advantage of all the wildcard abilities at your disposal. It's quite a trippy experience as the entire backdrop features a psychedelic world accompanied by a retro-futuristic synthwave soundtrack.
In addition to this, several new updates have been released on the platform. The atmosphere at Crossy Road Castle is about to get tense as an Among Us collaboration kicks off with 20 new levels. Then, in Hill Climb Racing, you can take part in new sports-themed minigames as you race through the autumn winds in Temple Run.
Synth Riders brings something new for Vision Pro owners in the form of a Groovin Essentials music stand, and Disney Coloring Worlds adds more options for you with the release of a pop-up sticker book featuring Buzz, WALL-E, and Remy .
But that's not all because What the Golf? host a nautical themed event as you head underwater for some fun golfing in the sea. And to top it off, the Tale of the Deep storyline finally ends in SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit, where a battle with Master Udon awaits you.
