The Apple Arcade catalog gains three notable titles on April 2, each bringing distinct gameplay and creative depth. Among them is DREDGE+, recognized as the iPad Game of the Year for 2025, which offers a complete experience including all previously released DLC content. This fishing adventure invites players to navigate foggy archipelagos, uncover submerged treasures, and piece together hidden narratives beneath the waves.
Unpacking+ joins the lineup as well, a puzzle game that won Cultural Impact recognition in 2023. It blends block-fitting mechanics with home decoration themes, allowing players to reconstruct a life story through virtual possessions. My Very Hungry Caterpillar+, based on Eric Carle’s beloved character, provides a multi-award-winning experience where players nurture a caterpillar from feeding and playtime to its transformation into a butterfly.
Beyond new additions, Arcade continues to expand with exclusive updates. Disney SpellStruck receives fresh Adventure Mode maps inspired by Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back, introducing Darth Vader and Lando Calrissian as playable characters starting March 19. On April 9, Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop celebrates its 35th anniversary with a new game mode, Puyo Puyo Garden, where players can cultivate and battle unique Puyos—a first for the series.
Arcade’s approach remains focused on uninterrupted gameplay without ads or in-app purchases. The service supports up to six family members per subscription, with access available across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, though availability may vary by region or hardware compatibility.
A subscription costs $6.99 per month in the U.S., including a one-month free trial. New subscribers who purchase qualifying devices receive three months of free access. Arcade is also bundled into Apple One plans at $19.95 (Individual), $25.95 (Family), or $37.95 (Premier).
For enterprise buyers, the platform’s curated selection and ad-free model may appeal to organizations seeking family-friendly entertainment without additional costs or distractions. However, device compatibility remains a consideration, particularly for older hardware.
