Apple to launch three new Apple Arcade games in September

Four new games have been added to Apple Arcade, Apple’s game streaming service. They are: Wheel of Fortune Daily (based on the TV game show), Drive Ahead! Carcade (a car racing game), Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders (a space shooter game), and Texas Hold ‘em Poker; Pokerist.

Apple has announced that Apple Arcade, its game streaming service, will debut three new games next month.

On September 5, NFL Retro Bowl ’25, Monster Train+, and an all-new Apple Vision Pro spatial title, Puzzle Sculpt, join more than 200 titles on the service that span thrilling adventures, fast-paced action games, multiplayer competitions, puzzlers, gripping sports and racing games, App Store classics, and more. 

Here’s how the three games are described: 

NFL Retro Bowl ’25 by New Star Games

Return to the gridiron for the NFL- and NFLPA-licensed relaunch of the highly rated App Store hit Retro Bowl, available only on Apple Arcade. The upcoming release of NFL Retro Bowl ’25 allows NFL fans to create their own dynasty by choosing their favorite official NFL teams and players to take all the way to the house as they manage their rosters and game strategies with a fun and simple roster management system. With authentic rosters and NFL players stylized in the game’s glorious retro style, all NFL players in-game feature unique, fully realized retro art, tuned attributes, career stats, and realistic contracts.

Monster Train+ by Good Shepherd Entertainment

In Monster Train+, the player must defend the final burning pyre from the celestial forces of heaven. This roguelite deck-building game introduces a new strategic layer with three vertical playing fields to defend. With over 250 cards to unlock and six distinct monster clans to discover, players will have to strategize to fit unique clan abilities, and tackle daily and custom challenges. This version of the game also includes The Last Divinity DLC, an epic expansion that brings more challenges and an additional clan called the Wurmkin.

Puzzle Sculpt by Schell Games

In this relaxing game, players will decipher increasingly challenging clues to solve puzzles in their living room. They will slowly remove blocks from the puzzle by logically carving away the unnecessary cubes, revealing a cute collectible buried within the cube, called a Deco Object. Players can arrange Deco Objects anywhere in their real-world space. There are plenty of puzzles and adorable Deco Objects to collect for hours of cozy, puzzle-solving fun.
