Apple Arcade

Apple’s Arcade game streaming service has seemingly launched earlier than its announced launch date according to MacRumors.

Some users on beta versions of iOS 13 and iOS 13.1 have reportedly gained access to the service, and Apple has allowed the lucky few access to the subscription service.

Not quite the 100s of games that Apple promised, the service reportedly boasts about 54 games now. Granted, if the games you love are among them, then you’ll be impressed. Otherwise, you might want to pass. Of course, with a 1-month free trial and a $4.99 asking price, Apple might be able to get users to forgive quite a bit.

“We are working with some of the most innovative game developers in the world to create over 100 new and exclusive games to play across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Apple Arcade games will be great for families, respect user privacy and will not have ads or require any additional purchases,” Apple said, earlier this month.

Arcade has been announced to roll-out from Thursday, but it appears that Apple is letting some people in on the fun earlier.
