The Best Apple Arcade Games for Kids

Apple Arcade is a brand new App Store feature announced at Apple’s annual September Keynote for the fall lineup.  It’s one of the most kid-friendly game platforms that I’ve seen. Unlike most other platforms, with Apple Arcade, there are no ads during gameplay, which is a plus.  One of the things that irk me with mobile and online games is the large number of suggestive ads that are built into the gameplay.  Often, these ads are not kid-friendly at all and very sexually suggestive.  Apple has cut all of that out, so parents don’t have to worry about.  In addition, most of the games available have a user rating of just 4 years old!  There are also several games available that the entire family can play.

Apple Arcade is currenly available on the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.  It will also be available on the Mac later in the fall. Games can also be played both online and offline, so you avoid data mishaps.

The following categories are available:

• Action
• Adventure
• Beginners
• Family
• Multiplayer
• Platformer
• Puzzle
• Role Playing
• Strategy

Each category has at least 6 games, though some games may appear in more than one category.  Apple plans to release nearly one hundred games by the end of fall.  How cool is that!

Take a look at the official Apple Arcade trailer:

With the Apple Arcade, you get access to over 100 new and upcoming games for a monthly subscription of $4.99 per month.  Each subscription can be shared amongst up to 6 family members.  Plus, there is a free 30 day trial for all new subscribers.
