TouchArcade Rating:
Apple's latest Apple Arcade update includes a new game, a promoted App Store Great title elevated to an Apple Arcade Original, and several significant game updates. Let's break it down:
First, NFL Retro Bowl 25 (initially announced as an update, but released as a new app) lets players build their own NFL dynasty using official teams, players, retro artwork, and accurate stats. The online enthusiasm for this release was surprisingly high. We'll see how it performs.
Next, Monster Train+—previously an App Store Great—now joins Apple Arcade as an Apple Arcade Original, complete with the "Last Divinity" DLC.
Apple Arcade also welcomes Puzzle Sculpt, a Vision Pro exclusive title where players solve spatial puzzles in their living rooms by removing blocks to reveal hidden collectibles.
This week's notable updates include:
- Hello Kitty Island Adventure: The Jam Jamboree event features Petunias in Merry Meadow.
- Rabbids Multiverse: New cards, outfits, seasonal events, and quality-of-life improvements.
- Wylde Flowers: The Magical Creatures update adds jewelry crafting, lighthouse secrets, and more.
- Disney Spellstruck: A limited-time Hercules event, a high-contrast mode, and other additions.
- What the Car?: A new "Meet the Developers" special, scissors, bear improvements, and more.
