Apple has announced that four new exclusive titles will join its Apple Arcade subscription service on August 7, expanding its catalog of over 200 games with a fresh mix of creativity, strategy and action.
Leading the lineup is Play-Doh World, a colorful, interactive experience that brings the iconic modeling compound into the digital space for the first time.
Developed by Scary Beasties, Play-Doh World lets players shape their own characters and see them come to life in a vibrant, imagination-fueled universe. From crafting wild animals to designing extravagant hairstyles, the game features dozens of interactive zones and collectible Play-Doh variations, encouraging open-ended exploration and creativity in a safe, ad-free environment. Regular content updates aim to keep the experience fresh and engaging for players of all ages.
Also launching on August 7 is Worms Across Worlds, a new installment in the long-running Worms franchise. Created by StoryToys and Behaviour Interactive, the game sends players on a chaotic journey through five distinct dimensions as they pursue the eccentric Professor Worminkle.
Combining turn-based action with strategic multiplayer battles, Worms Across Worlds introduces a fresh twist to the beloved formula while staying true to its roots.
Let’s Go Mightycat!, from PONOS Corporation, adds a dose of charm and whimsy to the lineup. A spinoff of the popular tower defense title The Battle Cats, the game follows a house cat turned intergalactic hero.
Players can customize their feline adventurer with capes, rescue cosmic allies, and navigate a variety of puzzle-based stages in a quest to expand the Cat Empire across the universe.
Rounding out the group is Everybody Shogi by AltPlus Inc., a reimagining of the classic Japanese board game. With intuitive controls, colorful visuals, and a range of puzzle-style stages, the game offers a casual introduction to shogi while preserving its strategic depth. Daily challenges, unlockable piece designs, and online multiplayer with real-time crossplay aim to make the game accessible and engaging for new and experienced players alike.
Apple Arcade is available for $6.99 per month with a one-month free trial. Customers who purchase a new Apple device receive three months of Apple Arcade at no additional cost.
The service is also included in Apple One subscription plans and supports cross-platform play across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, depending on the game. All Apple Arcade titles are free from ads and in-app purchases, with access available to up to six family members under one subscription.
