Apple Arcade is expanding its catalog with five new titles arriving on December 4, highlighted by Subway Surfers+, a premium version of the world’s most downloaded mobile game. First launched in 2012, Subway Surfers has accumulated billions of downloads across platforms. The Apple Arcade edition preserves the classic endless-runner gameplay but removes all ads and in-app purchases. This version introduces alternative methods for reviving characters, collecting items, and progressing through the game. Apple Arcade previously released Subway Surfers Tag, a spin-off, in 2022.

Four additional games will launch on the same day. SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit 2 continues the popular side-scrolling adventure based on the beloved animated series. PowerWash Simulator brings its relaxing, task-focused gameplay to Apple Arcade, allowing players to clean a variety of dirty vehicles, buildings, and environments. Cult of the Lamb Arcade Edition adapts the award-winning roguelite dungeon crawler for mobile, letting players manage their cult, explore dungeons, and fight enemies. NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM+, based on the iconic manga and anime franchise, offers fast-paced 3D combat and cinematic battles.

Meanwhile, one of Apple Arcade’s most popular titles, Sneaky Sasquatch, has rolled out a major update featuring a new farming town, expanding its already large open-world experience with fresh activities and areas.

Apple Arcade continues to position itself as a value-driven service offering hundreds of ad-free, microtransaction-free games across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. In the U.S., the subscription costs $6.99 per month, and it is included in every tier of Apple One, Apple’s bundled services plan. The December additions strengthen Apple Arcade’s lineup by blending iconic franchises with acclaimed indie hits, aiming to appeal to a broad audience of casual and core gamers alike.
