Over the past decade, mobile devices became gaming platforms on par with dedicated consoles. Modern phones and tablets pack enough power to deliver beautiful, complex gaming experiences, and not simply the causal fare that's dominated the space. Though, there's nothing wrong with casual gaming!Unfortunately, the mobile gaming market has slowly devolved to the point where now only exploitative, free-to-play (F2P) games that extract your cash via psychological traps and microtransactions can thrive. Maybe it’s because audiences don’t want to pay money upfront. Maybe publishers realize this model lets them earn more profit with less work. Whatever the reason, we’re now at the sad point where you can spend more money on the mediocre Mario Kart Tour than the proper (portable!) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.That’s why, as someone who believes in mobile gaming's potential, Apple Arcade's launch was so exciting. For $5 per month, Apple gives you access to a fast-growing library of nearly 200 premium games to enjoy on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV with a real controller connected. None of these games compromise their design with garbage F2P mechanics, and that’s so refreshing to see in this space. It harkens back to mobile gaming's promising and exciting early days. For the same price, Apple Arcade arguably offers more exclusive, high-quality original content to gamers than Apple TV+ offers to movie and TV fans. That streaming video service’s best show, Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, happens to be about video games, anyway.A new update recently expanded the types of games you’ll find on Apple Arcade. Alongside exclusive originals from famous developers, you can now play App Store Greats (remastered versions of past acclaimed App Store games) and Timeless Classics (new versions of old favorites, such as chess and sudoku). Along with GameClub, Apple Arcade helps mobile gaming take its history seriously.Here are the Apple Arcade titles worth playing right now. Note that while you won't find these games on other mobile devices, or available for purchase on the App Store outside of Apple Arcade, some are available on other dedicated gaming consoles and PC stores. Still, Apple Arcade is the only place you can play them all in one convenient, affordable, Apple One bundle.
