Apple Arcade has a game for almost everyone.
Shelby Brown/CNET
Apple Arcade has amassed over 200 games in its catalog since its 2019 launch. The subscription service has gained long-awaited titles Fantasian from Mistwalker and Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, as well as NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition, one of the biggest titles to hit the service so far. You can also play remastered App Store classics like Angry Birds: Reloaded and Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City. Many of the remastered games are already available in the App Store, but they could include in-app purchases or ads.
Even after a busy first half of 2021, there are still more classics and new titles to come.
