Apple has announced five titles coming to the Apple Arcade service in April, including two spatial games for the Vision Pro headset. The new games Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop, Super Monsters at My Condo+ and Sago Mini Trips+ will be available on all Apple devices on April 4. Meanwhile, Apple Vision Pro users will get Crossy Road Castle and Solitaire Stories on April 25. The Vision Pro mixed reality headset was launched last month and boasts more than a dozen spatial gaming experiences.
Apple on Tuesday announced the Apple Arcade lineup for April, confirming the return of the Japanese Puyo Puyo tile-matching series of games with a new title, Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop. The game will launch exclusively on the Apple service and include a new story, 24 playable characters, and four-player multiplayer battles.
Super Monsters at My Condo+ and Sago Mini Trips+ are also coming to Apple Arcade. The former is a BAFTA-nominated action puzzle title coming to mobile devices with enhanced visuals, while the latter bundles four preschool games from the Sago mini series.
All three titles will arrive on the Apple Arcade service on April 4 and will be available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. At the end of the month, Apple Vision Pro will get two titles, Crossy Road Castle and Solitaire Stories, both geared towards spatial experiences.
Crossy Road Castle will use hand gestures for controls – keep in mind that the Vision Pro does not come with controllers but does support third-party controllers. In the game, players can use gestures to climb a rotating tower with their friends.
Solitaire Stories, on the other hand, will allow players to play the popular card game in a virtual 3D space. Players can pinch and move cards and place the 3D card table anywhere around them. In addition to games, Apple also promised new updates for titles like Game Room, Synth Riders, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, and others.
The Apple Vision Pro has no shortage of apps, but so far it only has a little over a dozen native gaming titles. Apple Arcade games are also available to play on the headset. The game subscription service has over 200 titles on Apple devices and is priced at Rs. 99 per month. Users get three months of Apple Arcade for free when they purchase a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac.
