Apple Arcade will add five new titles to its growing catalog on June 5, including a new take on the classic card game UNO and a version of the acclaimed indie game WHAT THE CAR? tailored for Apple Vision Pro. The update also includes seasonal events and content expansions for several popular games on the service.
Leading the new lineup is UNO: Arcade Edition, a reworked version of the long-running card game from Mattel163. This edition includes solo and multiplayer modes, a custom game feature, and several cosmetic unlocks. The game is designed to provide a flexible experience for casual players and those seeking more competitive, customizable matches.
WHAT THE CAR?, developed by Triband, will launch in a new spatial format for Apple Vision Pro. Known for its eccentric mechanics and comedic approach to racing, the game now incorporates mixed-reality elements, allowing players to control a shape-shifting vehicle using hand gestures. Features like wings, legs, or even random afflictions mid-race are designed to keep gameplay unpredictable.
Also arriving is LEGO Hill Climb Adventures+, a hybrid of LEGO environments and the physics-driven gameplay of Hill Climb Racing. With dynamic terrain, vehicle upgrades, and a cast of LEGO Minifigures, the game emphasizes exploration and customization in a family-friendly setting.
Lost in Play+, which previously earned recognition as iPad Game of the Year in the App Store Awards, joins the service as a point-and-click adventure. The game follows a young sibling duo navigating an imaginative world full of puzzles and whimsical characters. With no spoken dialogue and a hand-drawn visual style, it appeals to players looking for story-driven gameplay.
Rounding out the additions is Helix Jump+, a modernized version of the arcade-style bouncing game. Enhanced for Apple Arcade, it includes reworked visuals, refined haptics, and additional customization options, while removing ads and microtransactions.
In addition to new releases, several games already available on Apple Arcade are receiving seasonal updates. Starting June 26, Crayola Create and Play+ will host a special seven-day event featuring Paddington Bear. The themed content includes mini-games and interactive storytelling elements geared toward younger audiences.
Other updates arrive earlier in the month. On May 22, Skate City: New York adds a new playable borough with 20 skating goals set in Queens. On May 8, NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition introduces Shaquille O’Neal as the latest featured athlete in its Greatest Mode.
A number of fan-favorite titles are also slated for new content, including Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Shovel Knight Dig, Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE, Angry Birds Reloaded, Grindstone, Fruit Ninja Classic+, and Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve.
Apple Arcade, which now offers access to over 200 games across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro, continues to position itself as a family-friendly service with an emphasis on uninterrupted gameplay. All titles on the platform are free from ads and in-app purchases.
