Apple has revealed the next wave of games coming to Apple Arcade in May, and the update includes four new titles along with fresh content for some existing games.
Like all games on Apple Arcade, the upcoming titles will launch without ads or in-app purchases, one of the key features of Apple’s subscription gaming service.
Four new Apple Arcade games arriving in May
Apple says three of the new games will arrive on May 7, expanding the Arcade catalog with a mix of casual, puzzle, and sports experiences.
The lineup includes:
- Good Pizza, Great Pizza+
A cooking and restaurant management simulator where players run a pizza shop and fulfill increasingly complex customer orders. The Apple Arcade version removes the in-app purchase mechanics found in the App Store version.
- Perchang World
A physics-based puzzle game that challenges players to guide tiny robots through elaborate obstacle courses.
- Ultimate 8 Ball Pool+
An Arcade edition of the popular billiards game with multiplayer gameplay and no microtransactions.
Nick Jr. Replay brings retro kids games to Apple Arcade
Another highlight arriving in May is Nick Jr. Replay!, which focuses on younger players and families.
The game includes more than 50 retro mini-games featuring characters from popular children’s shows, including:
- Dora the Explorer
- Blue’s Clues & You!
- Blaze and the Monster Machines
- Bubble Guppies
- Team Umizoomi
- Shimmer and Shine
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Apple says the game is designed as a safe and educational playground that helps young players build skills in reading, math, art, and problem-solving.
Existing Apple Arcade games also getting updates
Alongside the new releases, Apple is rolling out fresh content for a couple of existing Apple Arcade titles.
- Hello Kitty Island Adventure will receive a new update on April 16.
- Disney SpellStruck will add new Star Wars themed content on April 23.
These updates continue Apple’s strategy of keeping the Arcade library active with regular expansions and seasonal events.
Apple Arcade pricing and availability
