Today’s new Apple Arcade release is Jetpack Joyride 2 () from Halfbrick Studios. Jetpack Joyride 2 actually soft launched back in 2021, and it has returned as an Apple Arcade game promising to be a modern and updated adventure featuring new animations, mechanics, and more. I played it for a bit, and it definitely feels like a free to play game that was changed to be released on Apple Arcade. It is definitely a big get for the service though given the popularity of the first game. If you’re interested in checking it out, you can grab it one Apple Arcade here.

Alongside today’s release, three games have gotten updated on the service. Simon’s Cat – Story Time adds more than 250 levels in the Dawn Patrol update with extra gardens to explore.
