Apple Arcade now has 100 games available to play (Image: APPLE)
Apple’s new Arcade service launched back in September with the promise of 100 exclusive games to play for a small monthly fee.
At launch, the US technology firm hadn’t quite reached that century of titles but it hasn’t taken them long to hit that important number.
Six new games have just been added to the ever-expanding catalogue and that now means there’s officially 100 Apple Arcade games to pick and choose from.
Apple Arcade is available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and Apple TV and all games are exclusive to the service so you won’t find them anywhere else.
Launch titles included Ballistic Baseball, PAC-MAN PARTY ROYALE, Rayman Mini, Skate City and Super Impossible Road and here’s full details on the six new games you can play right now.
Takeshi & Hiroshi
“Takeshi and Hiroshi” combines the world of puppet animation with Role Playing Game.
It tells the story of two brothers. Fourteen year-old Takeshi, a game designer to-be, is creating a game for his little brother Hiroshi who always wants to play the next chapter of the game as soon as possible.
As the game is still in the making, Takeshi has to improvise and secretly plays some of the monster roles himself. It is Takeshi’s goal to make Hiroshi really enjoy his game, let him meet big challenges, but preferably to prevent him from losing. He has to choose which monsters shall appear when and struggles more and more as the challenge for him as a game creator becomes increasingly difficult.

In Guildings, you and your best friends are heading out on a quest. You’ll climb through dark tunnels to reach mystical mountain temples. You’ll match wits with goblins, ghosts and sentient coffeemakers.
You might even save the world from tearing itself apart. All you need to get this quest started? A magical phone. Be sure to read the fine print. This is Guildlings, a new story-driven episodic adventure brought to you by Asher Vollmer (maker of Threes), IGF award-winner Jamie Antonisse, and the team of dedicated indies at Sirvo Studios.
