Apple's jump into the gaming scene is about to go live.
At its September event held at the Steve Jobs Theater in California, the company revealed the official details of Apple Arcade, alongside the unveiling of a trio of new iPhones: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Apple Is Bringing A New Gaming Experience
Apple Arcade is going to be available starting on Sept. 19, the same release date as iOS 13, on Sept. 30 for iPadOS and tvOS 13, and sometime in October for macOS Catalina. It's going to cost $4.99 per month with a one-month free trial for first time users, which aligns with previous reports.
From the get-go, the gaming subscription service will have a roster of more than 100 games that are playable across Apple's devices, including the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple TV.
Subscribers can play games offline and resync their progress once they connect online again, and they can even play on one device and continue their progress on another. Also, members can share a subscription with up to six family members via Family Sharing.
Users can also opt for a physical controller, such as PlayStation DualShock 4, Xbox Wireless controllers with Bluetooth support, MFi controllers, and Siri Remote.
