If you've ever wanted to play a video game with your young children or nieces and nephews but you don't want to introduce them to a game like Dead Space, Apple Arcade has you covered. The service is set to add some family-friendly games in June so you can game with everyone in your family.
Apple Arcade is filled with familiar and classic games, alongside exclusive titles, that you can play for $7 per month (£7, AU$10). You can find many of these games in the App Store but they may have paywalls and ads that might hinder your gaming experience.
With an Apple Arcade subscription, you can play each game without paywalls and ads, a feature usually denoted by "Plus" in the name. Here are all the games Apple Arcade subscribers can play on June 5. You can also check out the games Apple added in May.

This game won the 2023 App Store Award for iPad Game of the Year, and subscribers can play this colorful point-and-click adventure game, too.

This classic casual game was reimagined for Apple Arcade to bring reworked haptics, enhanced visuals and more to subscribers.

And with the reworked haptics, you'll feel every bounce and smash along the way down.
You can access these games on Apple Arcade on June 5 for $7 per month or $50 annually and access other games on the service now for the same price. You can also try Apple Arcade free for one month with your first sign-up or you can get a three-month free trial when you buy a new Apple device. To access Apple Arcade, open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, and tap the joystick in the menu bar.
