Hit franchises Football Manager, Plants vs. Zombies, and Prince of Persia headline a fun-filled holiday lineup on Apple Arcade
Developed by Sports Interactive, Football Manager 27 Touch immerses fans and newcomers in an authentic soccer management experience featuring the world’s biggest leagues.
Available on Apple Arcade starting today, Football Manager 27 Touch puts the manager’s seat in players’ pockets. An elevated Match Engine offers ways to shape the action on the pitch, new Recruitment and Match Preparation tools make scouting and game plans easier to master, and a redesigned iPhone interface keeps everything within thumb’s reach. Football Manager 27 Touch joins a deep bench of standout sports games on Arcade, including NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition, Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, NFL Retro Bowl ’27, PGA TOUR Pro Golf, and Retro Bowl College+.
On December 3, Apple Arcade welcomes four new games for every kind of player, delivering a rich mix of reimagined classics, thrilling adventures, and family-friendly hits. Players can fend off waves of the undead in Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted; try their hand at a roguelike twist on a card classic in solitaire(ish); vanquish foes, master time, and explore a mythological setting in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+; and spark early creative curiosity in LEGO® DUPLO® Playtime. Every game on Arcade is free of ads and in-app purchases, and one subscription covers a family of up to five, so everyone can play this holiday season without interruptions.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted brings back the iconic characters, humor, and strategic gameplay that made the original a classic. The game adds new levels, fresh modes, and ways for players to team up with a friend in local co-op and PvP on the same device. The Arcade-exclusive Party mode also gives the backyard a delightful makeover.
Defend the lawn again — or for the first time — in the blockbuster tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, developed by PopCap Studios.
Playstack, the publisher of the award-winning indie sensation Balatro, brings a new twist on a classic card game. In solitaire(ish), players build soaring card stacks to hit rising score goals, collect rare perk cards, and upgrade their decks from more than 150 special cards. With daily streaks, leaderboards, and collectible cards to be discovered, every run feels fresh in a rule-bending spin on solitaire.
Developed by Playstack, solitaire(ish) combines the classic card game with strategic roguelike deck-building.
In the action game Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+, players harness potent time powers, acrobatic agility, and precision swordplay to explore and conquer the interconnected, time-warped depths of Mount Qaf. Available on Arcade with all downloadable content included, this definitive edition delivers the complete experience of the critically acclaimed original alongside new challenges, quests, and cosmetic updates.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+, developed by Ubisoft, comes with all DLC, including the Mask of Darkness story expansion.
Rounding out the December lineup is LEGO DUPLO Playtime, a calm, open-ended digital toy chest where little builders can mix and match iconic LEGO DUPLO bricks to craft a unique living playground.
