Apple might've put a price tag on its new game service. Users will get a one-month free trial of Apple Arcade and then will likely have to pay $4.99 per month, according to a report Monday from 9to5 Mac.

The gaming service will give iOS, Mac and Apple TV users access to multiple paid apps through the App Store. Arcade will also be available to everyone on a Family Sharing account.
The price isn't confirmed -- 9to5Mac cited a promotional message found in one of the APIs used by the App Store app.

Apple Arcade serves as an extension of the App Store and will include over 100 new, exclusive games. Subscribers can check out games from Annapurna Interactive, Bossa Studios, Cartoon Network, Finji, Giant Squid, Klei Entertainment, Konami, Lego, Mistwalker, Sega, Snowman and Ustwo.

Apple finally delivered more details on its gaming subscription program Apple Arcade.

The service will launch September 19 and go for $4.99 per month with a one-month free trial.
Users will access the service via a dedicated Arcade tab in the App Store. The company reiterated that the service will boast “more than 100 ground-breaking exclusive games,” also noting that new titles will be added every month.

Apple has partnered with some high-profile studios like Konami, Square Enix and Capcom. We saw a few demos which all seemed very mobile-friendly.

Apple Arcade is now available for some iOS 13 beta users
September 16, 2019
https://techcrunch.com/2019/09/16/apple-arcade-is-now-available-for-some-ios-13-beta-users/

If you’re running a beta version of iOS 13 or 13.1, chances are you can now open the App Store and subscribe to Apple Arcade. The company has been rolling out its new subscription service, as MacRumors spotted. It works on my iPhone running a public beta version of iOS 13.1.

Originally announced earlier this year, Apple has been working on an ad-free gaming service that lets you download and play games for a monthly subscription fee. These games have no ads or in-app purchases.
Essentially, you pay $4.99 per month to access a library with dozens of games. Subscriptions include a one-month free trial and work with family sharing.

Apple Arcade could have huge consequences for the iOS app ecosystem

From a consumer perspective, it’s just a killer deal. Apple plans on getting more than 100 games in there eventually, but the initial game lineup looks surprisingly excellent, as Chaim Gartenberg writes.
The quality of this lineup is even better than it might appear at first blush, too. That’s because of Apple’s more stringent requirements for getting into its Netflix-for-games system.

If you haven’t looked into it, you would be completely shocked at how much gameplay data lots of iPhone games collect — and not just for advertising. [...]
Apple Arcade has stricter privacy standards than the rest of the App Store, and my understanding is that making and distributing games via Arcade works much more like the pre-analytics world: make a good game, play test it, put it into the world.

I suspect it’s going to be a massive hit — what that ends up meaning for developers and the iOS ecosystem is anybody’s guess.

Apple Arcade now has 100 games
November 8, 2019
https://www.engadget.com/2019/11/08/apple-arcade-100-games/

In the weeks since it launched, Apple Arcade has won over many with its affordable price and wide variety of games. Despite some initial skepticism, the service impressed our editorial team as a way to break from the low-quality free-to-play games that previously dominated mobile gaming.

Now, the Arcade has reached a milestone of 100 games available to play.
