Apple has listed the games coming to its Apple Arcade service in December and January.
Highlights include four Square Enix RPGs, all of which arrive on the service as ‘+’ versions.
Final Fantasy 4 (3D Remake)+ and Final Fantasy 4: The After Years+ will be arriving on December 9, while Final Fantasy+ and Trials of Mana+ will arrive a month later on January 9.
‘+’ versions of games on Apple Arcade are titles that are already available on the standard iOS App Store, but remove any monetisation present in those versions, be that an up-front price, in-game purchases or ads.
For example, Final Fantasy 4 (3D Remake) is currently on the App Store priced at $14.99, but the ‘+’ version will be included as part of an Apple Arcade subscription with no extra costs.
In terms of other games coming to Apple Arcade, December 5 will see the release of Talking Tom Blast Park, Boggle: Arcade Edition, Pac-Man 256+, Hot Wheels: Race Off+, Barbie Colour Creations+ and Little Cities: Diorama (Apple Vision Pro).
Then, on January 9, Gears & Goo (Vision Pro), Three Kingdoms Heroes, Rodeo Stampede+, and It’s Literally Just Mowing+ will be released alongside Final Fantasy+ and Trials of Mana+.
Recent Apple Arcade releases include NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition, NFL Retro Bowl 25 and Balatro+.
