Apple Arcade, the name of this new subscription platform, will give subs access to a catalog of over 100 games that will then be playable on iOS devices like iPhone and iPad, Mac, or on your television via Apple TV. All games will be available for play offline and you’ll also be able to switch between devices when playing a title. So if you go to work and decide to play on your phone throughout the day, you can then pick up your progress where you left off on your TV when you get home.

As for the games that will be bundled with Apple Arcade, Apple says it will offer some exclusives games from creators like Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy), Ken Wong, and Will Wright (The Sims). Apple also released a preview trailer showing off some of the titles that will be available through Apple Arcade which included Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm, The Pathless, Sonic Racing, Beyond a Steel Sky, and many others.

Creative director Mark Bozon and executive producer Kathy Astromoff have left the company.

Bozon, who spent 12 years at Apple and joined the Apple Arcade team in 2018, has left the iPhone maker to build "next generation experiences" for Disney within the company's Next Generation Storytelling Experiences Division.

Confirming the news on Twitter, Bozon shared a report from Variety that explains he'll be creating a multidisciplinary team at Disney to deliver interconnected experiences across gaming, television, film, parks, toys, and more.

Astromoff, meanwhile, has departed Apple Arcade to become a full-time climate emergency activist. Outlining her decision on social media, Astromoff explained she chose to leave Apple after four years to fight the climate emergency by keeping fossil fuels in the ground.
