Apple announced several new updates for its game subscription service, Apple Arcade. One of the highlights is that the popular Emmy-winning series Bluey (which your furry friends can also watch) is getting a mega crossover across five titles, starting May 21.
Apple will push exclusive updates to bring Bluey characters on Crossy Road Castle, stitch., puffies., Suika Game+, and Disney Coloring World+. In Crossy Road Castle, you can try a fun obstacle course at Bluey and Bingo"s house in a co-op setup for up to four players.
You can also drop in with Bluey to match fruits in Suika Game+, finish Bluey-themed hoops in stitch., and decorate pages in Disney Coloring World+. Apple said that "these in-game events run through June 24 for stitch.; July 8 for puffies.; and July 21 for Crossy Road Castle, Suika Game+, and Disney Coloring World+."
Apart from these, Apple Arcade will add four new titles to its catalog on June 4:
Mini Football Legends brings an arcade-style soccer experience where you can build, train, and manage your own legendary team. You can pick solo tournaments or team up with friends for multiplayer games and local co-ops.
My Talking Tom 2+ from Outfit7 lets you have a cool virtual pet, Talking Tom. It will unlock new pet adventures for the virtual cat, where he can learn new skills, feed on different snacks, take a shower, do his "business," collect items, and explore new worlds.
Coffee Inc 2+ will bring a business simulation game with a coffee-bean scent. You can build your virtual coffee empire across popular cities worldwide, deal in multiple currencies, customize interiors, run marketing campaigns, and more.
Taking a different road from its all-or-nothing approach for Apple Arcade, the iPhone-maker said that users can have a "free introductory experience" on the App Store for select titles, including Hello Kitty Island Adventure, WHAT THE CLASH?, PGA TOUR Pro Golf, and Cross Road Castle. For reference, Apple Arcade currently starts at $6.99/mo in the US with a one-month free trial.
