Apple Arcade has a game for almost everyone.
James Martin/CNET
Apple Arcade — a CNET Editors’ Choice pick for 2021 — has over 200 games in its catalog to play for just $5 a month (or $60 annually). The service offers original and exclusive titles, as well as familiar games in the service’s App Store Favorites and Timeless Classics sections. These games are available in the App Store already, but with an Apple Arcade subscription, you can play them without ads and paywalls for no extra charge.
Here’s what we’re looking forward to checking out soon.
