Apple Arcade welcomes nine new games
UNO: Arcade Edition is a new take on the global card game phenomenon, and Angry Birds Bounce is an exciting addition to the legendary mobile franchise
Exciting new additions are expanding Apple Arcade’s dynamic catalogue of more than 200 games, all without ads or in-app purchases. Today, a new take on Mattel’s classic card game UNO is available on the service with UNO: Arcade Edition. The game features three modes where fans can enjoy solo matches with classic UNO rules in Single Player, play with others in Quick Match or turn up the heat in Custom Games that feature special twists like Wild Swap Hands and Color Showdown. Also released today are: WHAT THE CAR? for Apple Vision Pro¹, a spatial adaption of the 2024 D.I.C.E. Awards’ Mobile Game of the Year; physics-based racing game LEGO Hill Climb Adventures+; wholesome interactive adventure Lost in Play+; and hit 3D arcade game Helix Jump+.
Next month, four fun games bring even more reason to jump in and play. Launching exclusively on Apple Arcade on 3 July, Angry Birds Bounce is a new take on one of the most iconic mobile game series of all time with over 5 billion lifetime downloads. The new game blends Angry Birds’ classic slingshot gameplay with arcade-style brick-breaker mechanics, creating an all-new adventure full of chaotic charm and action-packed fun.
“Angry Birds Bounce reinvents the classic Angry Birds formula with a vertical twist, refreshing the gameplay while staying true to the brand’s DNA,” said Bryan Cook, Angry Birds Bounce game lead at Rovio. “We are thrilled to bring this new experience exclusively to Apple Arcade, featuring the largest roster of Angry Birds characters ever, and we can’t wait to see our players’ reactions to this new title.”
Three more popular games will also be added from the App Store on 3 July: Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD+, the most recent entry in the acclaimed tower defence franchise; Suika Game+, a delightful fruit-merging puzzle game; and Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets+, which transforms Crayola’s favourite kids’ pet toys into digital companions.

Join Red, Chuck, Bomb and the rest of the gang on a brand-new adventure. Angry Birds Bounce combines the classic charm of Angry Birds with an innovative arcade brick-breaker twist.

With strategic rogue-lite gameplay, each level is a new challenge where players will master precision shots, unlock exciting power-ups and build unique combos during each run.
