Apple Arcade, selskabets spiltjeneste til bl.a. Apple TV, har i dag fået en stor udvidelse med over 30 nye og klassiske spil – flere er på vej, lyder det.
Apple Arcade udvidelse
Apple Arcade har givet abonnenter en taktfast strøm af roste spil, som kan spilles på Apple TV, herunder Sayonara Wild Hearts, The Last Campfire, Creaks og The Pathless.
Med dagens udvidelse tilføjer Arcade nye og klassiske spil såsom Fantasian, NBA 2K21, Wonderbox, The Oregon Trail, Badland og Monument Valley. Selskabet siger, at flere klassiske spil tilføjes inden længe inklusiv Leo's Fortune.

- "In its inaugural year, Apple Arcade won over media critics and fans for its creativity, diverse portfolio, and commitment to players’ privacy, providing a safe gaming service to enjoy with family and friends," sagde Matt Fischer, VP for App Store. "Today we’re launching our biggest expansion since the service debuted, now offering more than 180 great games that include new Arcade Originals, Timeless Classics, and App Store Greats."
Fantasian er nu tilgængelig på Apple Arcade
Visse tidligere Arcade-spil er blevet udgivet til PC og konsoller såsom Switch, PlayStation og Xbox senere, men det står ikke klart om de nye Arcade Originals ligeledes udkommer andre steder. Der er ikke tale om AAA-spil med imponerende grafik, men dagens udgivelse viser, at Apple investerer i sin spiltjeneste langsigtet. Opgraderet Apple TV-hardware kan muliggøre mere avancerede spil.
Abonnementsbaserede spiltjenester vinder frem i disse år. Sidste måned tilføjede Microsoft 20 Bethesda-spil til Xbox Game Pass-tjenesten, der rundede 18 mio. abonnenter i starten af 2021. Sony har PlayStation Now.
Apple siger, at Arcade Originals vil være tilgængelige på tværs af Apple TV, Mac, iPad og iPhone – spilbare med eller uden controller. 'Timeless Classics' og 'App Store Greats' vil derimod ikke altid være tilgængelig på Apple TV og Mac.
Prisen på Apple Arcade forbliver uændret på 39 kr/md. efter en gratis prøveperiode på 1 måned.
