With Apple Arcade, the company has stepped into a familiar territory where it’s taking a huge leap. Apple has already taken a step forward with its new Apple News+ and Apple Card services, and now you can add Apple Arcade to that list.

This is a new game subscription for iOS, Mac, and Apple TV will allow you to play as much as you want. Best part is, there will be no ads. It will bring ease of use, attention to detail, privacy and security, curation by experts, personalized experience, and family sharing.

So far, more than 1 billion people have downloaded games from the App Store, and there are more than 300,000 games available to play. Apple is hoping that Apple Arcade will curate some of these top titles into a subscription service. Apple Arcade will be available on mobile, desktop, and the living room.
