Gaming🎮 [Mobile] Apple Arcade Weekly Round-Up: Vision Pro Spatial Games, Updates, Games Leaving, and More

[Bowser]

​

Following yesterday’s announcement for Apple Vision Pro spatial games and updates, we’ve had a few more notable game updates hit Apple Arcade in addition to the launch of Game Room () which is available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS in addition to Apple Vision Pro. This includes a selection of popular games to simulate a game room. I’m curious how it feels on different devices. Right now it includes Chess, Solitaire, Hearts, Yacht, and Sea Battle. As for the new updates, Crayola Create and Play+ brings in the Color Campus new area, Count n Color new activity, and Craft Your Valentine for Valentine’s day. In addition to adding Apple Vision Pro support, Jetpack Joyride 2 brings in a new Challenge Mode, the Moon Festival event, and more. Wylde Flowers () has added in Apple Vision Pro support (pictured below), a hairdressing salon, Eury Sinclair who is a new romance candidate, 60 new hairstyle options, new friendship milestones, and more.

Doodle God Universe celebrates Chinese New Year with the Lantern Festival, new reactions, new elements, new 3D scenes, and more. Solitaire Stories brings in the new story: World’s Deep, new event: Box of Chocolates, new event: Year of the Dragon, and support for offline events for the first time. Disney SpellStruck version 1.7.0 is out now bringing in Sisu, time-limited events, and more. Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom brings in a new vendor, new backpack expansion, support for longer days and nights, and other improvements. LEGO Builder’s Journey, one of the best examples of a game that would benefit from Apple Vision Pro, was also updated to support the hardware. The final notable update is Zookeeper World version 6.0.0 bringing in the Fruit League event, 12 new puzzles with the next stage coming February 11th, and more.

LEGO® Builder's Journey is launching on Apple Vision Pro today! It's been an amazing experience bringing the game to a completely new platform in close collaboration with Apple and Unity. (1/3)https://t.co/ibCcUa0v9E pic.twitter.com/a5FuX2ZcJk

With the updates done, check out our forum threads for Crayola Create and Play+ here, Doodle God Universe here, Jetpack Joyride 2 here, Solitaire Stories here, Wylde Flowers here, Disney SpellStruck here, Doodle God Universe here, Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom here, and Zookeeper World here. For all other Apple Arcade related things, check out our dedicated Apple Arcade forum for discussion on the service and every game included here.

Apple also announced that Cozy Grove, Super Impossible Road, Speed Demons, Stela, Nightmare Farm, and Red Reign will be leaving the service soon. I expected some of those to leave including Cozy Grove, but it is disappointing to see more leave the service with less games coming in each month. What do you think of Apple’s new updates and the spatial games on Apple Vision Pro and also will you be playing any of the games leaving soon?
