Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a major tech company launches a gaming service that hand-curates new, intriguing games on a regular, scheduled basis. The games aren’t AAA, big-budget blockbusters, but are instead charming original works from small teams of creatives.
If you were thinking, “Xbox Live Arcade,” you’re absolutely right. During my time at the Apple Park campus to check out a handful of the 100+ games (see more in the trailer below) launching with the new Apple Arcade subscription service, which itself goes live this Thursday, September 19, I couldn’t help but feel like I was back in the good ol’ Xbox Live Arcade days. Except instead of games costing $5-$10 each, it’s $5 per month for unlimited access to everything on Apple Arcade.
