- Apple Arcade's latest update is coming in early September

- There's also the announcement of upcoming titles like Balatro+ and NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition
It's a day that ends with a “y,” and you know what that means! Yep, Apple Arcade, the iPhone maker's subscription gaming service, is getting another update. This time, it's bringing some major new additions to the platform, as well as announcing some upcoming releases you may have already heard about. So, let's get to it!
- NFL Retro Bowl '25: After previously announcing that this title would be an update to the already released Retro Bowl, this new update has been released and has added official NFL branding and teams.
- Monster Train+: This deck-building roguelike has you piloting a train through the icy slopes of hell after an invasion from heaven puts out the last fire. Fight to reignite the fires, for better or for worse.
- Puzzle carved: The only odd one out here, Puzzle Sculpt is a space game created for the Apple Vision Pro. It's a relatively simple puzzle game that uses the device's space tools, but for Vision Pro users, it's always nice to have more.
Arcade Madness
As for what else is around the corner, the biggest news is, of course, the indie success Balatro+ coming to Apple Arcade on September 26. Meanwhile, in October you'll see the arrival of games like NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition, Food Truck Puppy+, Furistas Cat Cafe+ AND Great success+.
