Not sure if it’s a standalone subscription though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] vxx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Apple Arcade is $6.99 a month. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sjmarf@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago Yes. It’s $6.99/mo for access to a load of games with no ads or IAPs. Half of the games on there are only available on Apple Arcade, the others are editions of regular App Store games but with no ads and all the IAPs already unlocked. It kinda sucks that Apple gatekeeps certain games behind the subscription though… I wanted to play Mini Motorways on mobile, but it’s only available through Apple Arcade. For comparison Mini Metro is a OTP of $5 iirc. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago It's Apple, ofc it is 🥲 permalink fedilink source parent
