Apple Arcade is kicking off the week with a trio of exciting additions: a brand-new Vision Pro game, a promoted App Store Great now available on the service, and an upgrade of an existing App Store Great to a full-fledged Apple Arcade Original. Leading the charge is NFL Retro Bowl 25 (), initially announced as an update but ultimately released as a standalone title. This game lets players build their own NFL dynasty using official teams and players, complete with retro art, authentic stats, and contracts. The online buzz surrounding this announcement surprised even me; despite limited NFL fandom, the positive response was significant. We’re eagerly awaiting its official launch later today. Joining NFL Retro Bowl 25 is the App Store Great Monster Train+, now available on Apple Arcade, including the Last Divinity DLC from day one. Check out a screenshot of NFL Retro Bowl 25 below:
Also launching today is Puzzle Sculpt, a Vision Pro exclusive title. This game challenges players to solve spatial puzzles in their own living rooms by removing blocks to reveal adorable collectibles hidden within a cube.
This week’s notable updates include: Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s Jam Jamboree featuring Petunias in Merry Meadow; Rabbids Multiverse with new cards, outfits, seasonal events, and quality-of-life improvements; Wylde Flowers receiving its Magical Creatures update, adding jewelry crafting, lighthouse secrets, and more; Disney Spellstruck welcoming Hercules in a limited-time event alongside a high-contrast mode; and What the Car adding a "Meet the Developers" special, scissors, bear improvements, and more.
