Apple Adds 'Leaving Arcade Soon' Section to App Store

pcmag.com:

Apple decided to start telling Apple Arcade subscribers when games are about to leave the service, giving them one last chance to download and play them.

As MacRumors reports(Opens in a new window), Apple Arcade has removed games before, but didn't make it clear until now which titles were set to disappear. However, a new section appeared within Arcade called "Leaving Arcade Soon," which lists the titles on their way out.

Currently, 15 games are listed for removal, but it isn't specified when they will disappear. Those games are:

Atone: Heart of the Elder Tree

BattleSky Brigade: Harpooner

Cardpocalypse

Dead End Job

Don't Bug Me!

Dread Nautical

EarthNight

Explottens

Lifeslide

Over the Alps

Projection: First Light

Spelldrifter

Spidersaurs

Towaga: Among Shadows

Various Daylife

Although revealing which games are leaving the service is a good move on Apple's part, it's unclear what this means for the games going forward.

As TouchArcade points out(Opens in a new window), Apple hasn't explained if these titles will simply disappear, become premium games on the main App Store, or what happens to your save data for the game if you played it via Arcade. Hopefully these points will be made clear in the near future, along with a "set to disappear" date for each game.
