Apple Arcade Adding Four More Games, Including Angry Birds Bounce

Apple today announced that four additional games will be added to the Apple Arcade library on Thursday, July 3, including a new Angry Birds title.

Angry Birds Bounce
Angry Birds Bounce is a new take on the iconic Angry Birds game, which has been downloaded billions of times over the years. According to Apple, it combines classic Angry Birds slingshot gameplay with arcade-style brick-breaker mechanics.

Apple's full description of the game:

Join Red, Chuck, Bomb, and the rest of the gang on a brand-new adventure. Angry Birds Bounce combines the classic charm of Angry Birds with an innovative arcade brick-breaker twist. When the pigs take over their islands, the birds must bounce back — literally — combining into powerful flocks and launching themselves to defeat an army of piggies and reclaim their home. With strategic rogue-lite gameplay, each level is a new challenge where players will master precision shots, unlock exciting power-ups, and build unique combos during each run.

All four games that are coming to Apple Arcade on July 3:

More details about all of the games are outlined in Apple's announcement.

Apple also highlighted five games that are launching on Apple Arcade today.

Accessible through the App Store, Apple Arcade is a subscription-based service that provides access to hundreds of games across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, all free of ads and in-app purchases. In the U.S., Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month, and it is bundled with other Apple services in all Apple One plans.

Arcade needs more good quality games. The current catalogue is not very interesting. Another variant of Angry birds as an addition is nice.

Wish they would add some higher quality games. I like playing games on the Apple TV with controllers and the emulators aren't bad but a pain to setup and use.

Just kill that sorry service already - nobody cares about it, nobody wants it. Just like eWorld, MobileMe, Game Center and so many other half-assed Apple initiatives.
In fact, Apple is so bad at gaming that even Steam would probably die under its ownership.
The thing is Apple Arcade is a great idea and it could work. It solves a massive problem that the regulators haven't yet caught on. Arcade effectively stops in-app purchases and the gamblification of games. This is what Arcade changes in the phone/tablet arena. Unfortunately their game library is lacking.

There are some clear evergreens like solitaire, sudoku, mahjong, etc. Things a lot of people will download to their devices. The choice is either play those game with hundreds of adds or pay for each one a monthly subscription, Apple Arcade is cheaper in this sense. But yeah it does feel it could offer so much more. Apple Arcade + a game focused on Apple TV would be pretty much a competitor to Xbox and Playstation, with iPads and iPhones would compete in the Switch market. So yeah if they would be more serious about the gaming aspect of it they would have a very solid product on their hands.

I'm genuinely curious as to whether apple will keep arcade going.
It's clearly been a flop. But i'm doubtful they'll axe it as then they'd have to lower the price of the apple one bundle.
