Apple Arcade continues to expand its curated collection of over 200 family-friendly games, offering players uninterrupted gameplay with no ads and no in-app purchases. On April 2, three fun games join the service, including indie gems, App Store Award winners, and beloved fan favorites.
Players can navigate the eerie waters of DREDGE+, the App Store Awards’ iPad Game of the Year for 2025; explore a life story in Unpacking+, a Cultural Impact winner of the 2023 App Store Awards; and nurture the adored character by famed children’s author Eric Carle in My Very Hungry Caterpillar+.
DREDGE+ brings the complete edition of the acclaimed fishing adventure to Apple Arcade. This version includes all released DLC content: The Pale Reach, The Iron Rig, Blackstone Key, and the custom rod. Players can experience the full breadth of this haunting maritime journey as they traverse foggy archipelagoes, dredge up treasures from the depths, and uncover mysteries lurking beneath the waves.
Recognized as a Cultural Impact winner of the 2023 App Store Awards, Unpacking+ is a zen puzzle game about the familiar experience of removing possessions out of boxes and arranging them in a new home. Part block-fitting puzzle, part home decoration, Unpacking+ invites Arcade players to create a satisfying living space as they learn clues about the life they are putting together.
Based on the character that has captured the hearts of millions, the multi-award-winning and App Store “Best of” My Very Hungry Caterpillar+ lets players care for their very own pet caterpillar. As players feed him, play with him, and explore his world, he grows bigger and unlocks new activities, eventually spinning a cocoon and transforming into a beautiful butterfly. It brings Carle’s timeless story to life in a delightful, interactive experience for the whole family to enjoy.
Apple Arcade delivers more than just new releases; the service also brings players exclusive crossovers and updates they can’t find anywhere else. On March 19, the Star Wars saga continues in Disney SpellStruck, which adds new Adventure Mode maps inspired by Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back, along with Darth Vader and Lando Calrissian as new playable characters.
On April 9, Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Puyo Puyo franchise by adding a brand-new game mode, Puyo Puyo Garden. In a first for the series, players can grow, nurture, and battle their own unique Puyo.
