Any new subscription service launching these days needs to be very tempting. By the end of 2020, there’ll be so many different packages available for games, TV and movies, that it will likely already feel like overkill.
Objectively, we’re straggling here in the UK somewhat, but you only need to flick through Amazon Prime Video’s many monthly on-demand sub channels to get a glimpse into the future – most people won’t be able to afford everything, which also means that a lot of the more niche products will ultimately fail, or be absorbed.
Naturally, Apple is hoping its new subscription service, Apple Arcade, will take off. Launching on Thursday and priced at a reasonable £4.99 per month, there are definitely some intriguing-sounding titles set to be included with it, however, among the obligatory smoke bombs and fireworks, there was a little confusion as to which titles were actually going to be available at launch.
Well, now that the Apple Arcade beta is up and running, we have a pretty comprehensive idea. The full list of launch titles (via MacRumours) can be found below…
