Apple Arcade is set to launch three new titles on April 2, 2026, catering to various gaming preferences. The lineup includes the haunting fishing adventure Dredge Plus, the relaxing puzzle Unpacking Plus, and the interactive children's game My Very Hungry Caterpillar Plus. These additions enhance the subscription service's diverse offerings without ads or paywalls.
Apple Arcade, Apple's gaming subscription service priced at $7 per month, will expand its library with three new games starting April 2, 2026. This monthly update aims to appeal to a broad audience, from adventure seekers to families and puzzle enthusiasts.
Dredge Plus, developed by Black Salt Games, is a fishing simulation set in a remote archipelago. Players navigate mysterious waters on their trawler, uncovering treasures alongside eerie horrors. Recognized as the iPad Game of the Year at the 2025 App Store Awards, this version includes all prior content, such as the DLCs The Pale Reach, The Iron Rig, and Blackstone Key.
Unpacking Plus, from Humble Bundle, offers a zen-like puzzle experience centered on moving into new homes. Participants arrange belongings room by room, gradually revealing the personal story of the protagonist through everyday items. The game emphasizes relaxation, with no timers, scores, or rigid objectives, allowing players to customize spaces at their own pace.
For younger audiences, My Very Hungry Caterpillar Plus by StoryToys Limited adapts Eric Carle's classic children's book into an interactive app. Users nurture a caterpillar from egg to butterfly in a vibrant garden setting. Activities involve feeding the creature fruit, painting, growing flowers, and exploring toys, fostering curiosity and creativity as the cycle of growth repeats.
Subscribers can access these titles ad-free and without in-app purchases, a key benefit of Apple Arcade over standard App Store versions. New users may qualify for a one-month free trial upon signup or a three-month trial with eligible Apple device purchases. The service supports iOS and iPadOS devices via the App Store.
