Apple’s gaming subscription service Apple Arcade is now available for iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 users ahead of its official release. Users can now sign up for the service and start using Apple Arcade a couple of days earlier ahead of its September 19 launch.
All you need to do is sign up for the iOS 13 Beta. To do so, just go to the Apple Beta Software Program website on your iPhone, and sign in with your Apple ID. Once you’ve installed the iOS 13 beta, just go to the App Store. You’ll find a new joystick logo on the guide bar at the bottom of the screen for Arcade. Then, all you need to do is sign up. However, you’ll need to have an active credit card linked to your App Store account. Once you’ve signed up, you’re ready to start using Apple Arcade.
Apple has promised that its gaming subscription service will offer users over 100 new and exclusive games. That said, sources indicate that only 53 games are currently available in the Apple Arcade library, with more added to the service every week.
Apple is offering a one-month free trial for users to try out the service. Users can play the games both online and offline during the free trial. Besides, users also have the option to cancel the service before the free trial expires. The service will cost $4.99 per month after the free trial is over.
Apple Arcade will arrive on the App Store on Thursday, September 19. The service will also be available on the Mac with macOS Catalina and Apple TV with tvOS 13 in October.
