Apple Arcade has a game for almost everyone.
Apple Arcade, a CNET Editors’ Choice award pick, offers hundreds of games you can play for just $5 a month (£5, AU$8). The service has familiar and classic games, as well as exclusive titles. You can find many of these games in the App Store, but there they have paywalls and ads that might hinder your gaming experience. With an Apple Arcade subscription, you can play each game without paywalls and ads.
Here are the games Apple Arcade is adding in August.
