Apple Arcade launches on September 19th and will cost $4.99 a month. This is a family subscription which is great pricing. I expected it to be $4.99 per person and not for a family plan. My biggest takeaway in terms of the games and developers announced and what was shown a few minutes ago is that there Apple needs show more even though there is a free trial happening. Simogo’s newest release is one of my most anticipated games of the year and I can’t wait to play it next week. What do you think of the pricing for Apple Arcade?
Update: Added all the new games announced after the event and fixed a typo.
