No, Apple Arcade is not exactly the service of gaming most used in the world, but that does not mean that this service should be ignored. Its catalog has games that are worth it, especially if what we want is to kill the time when we are going to or coming from work or relaxing moments during a vacation.
To prove it, we are going to show you what we consider to be best apple arcade games. Some of them are worth the five euros that a month of service costs on their own.
How to Download and Play on Apple Arcade
If you’re a subscriber to the service, there’s nothing special about playing Apple Arcade games. You just have to open the App Store in iOS, PadOS, macOS or tvOS and look for this section:
The games in this catalog are downloaded like any other game from the App Store, you just have to click on the ‘Get’ button of each game and it will be installed. Remember that you must have enough free space on your device, as the game downloads all its data so you can play offline.
We are going to see the list with the best Apple Arcade games that we have been able to try. To locate them, you just have to look for them in the Apple Arcade section of the App Store that we have indicated above.
