Apple Arcade is adding five new games to its library of over 200 ad-free, in-app purchase-free titles on October 1. The new additions include Pusheen's Place, a cozy game where players build a paradise and collect over 100 kitties, and River City Survivors, an explosive survivors-like action game featuring waves of zombie chaos. Three existing App Store titles are receiving special Arcade versions that remove ads and in-app purchases: Terraria+, the sandbox action-adventure game; Touchgrind BMX 2+, a physics-driven BMX stunt game with unique two-finger controls; and 4 Pics 1 Word+, the popular puzzle game that has delighted more than 400 million players worldwide.

Apple Arcade remains available for $6.99 per month or through the Apple One bundle, offering unlimited access to its curated collection. The service continues to differentiate itself from the standard App Store by providing a premium gaming experience free of monetization interruptions.
