Apple Arcade: Every New Game Arriving in August

Apple Arcade has a game for almost everyone. 

Apple

Apple Arcade, a CNET Editors’ Choice award pick, offers hundreds of games you can play for just $5 a month (£5, AU$8). The service has familiar and classic games, as well as exclusive titles. You can find many of these games in the App Store, but there they have paywalls and ads that might hinder your gaming experience. With an Apple Arcade subscription, you can play each game without paywalls and ads.

Here are the games Apple Arcade is adding in August.

This puzzle game has you moving cats and cushions around until each furry friend has found their ideal sleeping spot. I’m not sure how you move the cats around without them getting upset and giving you side-eye or taking a swipe at you, but I’m willing to find out.

Kingdoms: Merge and Build

Release date: Aug. 18
Developer: Cherrypick Games

Apple

This game combines puzzles, kingdom-building and adventure. You and your friends are tasked with rebuilding a ruined kingdom and saving its people by constructing and renovating buildings, completing quests and figuring out what happened to the previous king.
