Dan Pražák Apple continues to successfully expand its services and introduces Apple Arcade - a new subscription-based gaming service. It will bring more than a hundred exclusive games to which users will gain access for a regular monthly fee. The titles will be playable not only on iPhone and iPad, but also on Mac and Apple TV.
The games for Apple Arcade were created in collaboration with the Californian company and selected developers from around the world. For starters, the service will feature more than a hundred games that will be available exclusively on iOS, macOS, and tvOS and will be ad-free. In addition, there will be no need to purchase additional content using microtransactions to play them.

The service will be available through a special tab in the (Mac) App Store, from where games can also be downloaded and played offline. All progress will be synchronized via iCloud, so if a user plays a course on, for example, an iPhone, they can later continue it on a Mac, Apple TV or iPad.
Apple Arcade will be available in the fall of this year in more than 150 countries, including the Czech Republic. Apple did not reveal the price of the service, we will probably find out in the course of the year.
I didn't understand if I would buy the same game without the monthly squeeze or not? If not, it's the usual ploy to sell the customer something they don't really want along with what they want.
