TouchArcade Rating: Apple unveiled its October 2024 Apple Arcade lineup, featuring the highly anticipated NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition () as the main attraction. Following yesterday's announcement of Balatro, Apple confirmed the October 3rd launch of NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition, alongside three App Store Greats. This release is significant as it introduces "The Neighborhood" to iOS, allowing players to explore its immersive world, including outdoor courts, NBA legend recruitment, a revamped badge system, and more, with additional limited-time quests planned. See the gameplay screenshot below:
Joining NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition on Apple Arcade as App Store Greats are Smash Hit+, Furistas Cat Cafe+, and Food Truck Pup+. Having prior experience with only Smash Hit+, I'm eager to explore the others, time permitting, of course, especially after playing Balatro+. For those interested in accessing these new games, find NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition on Apple Arcade. With the addition of Balatro+ and NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition, this month marks a significant upgrade to the service. What are your thoughts on the newly announced Apple Arcade games?
