Apple Arcade is available for $44.99, down from the standard yearly price of $49.99, and Apple TV+ is also available at the same $44.99 price point. Apple News+ is available for $89.99 for a year of service.
Apple does not offer a yearly subscription to Apple News+, selling it for $9.99 per month for a total yearly price of $120, so the $90 price point from Costco is a notable discount.
Costco appears to have just recently started offering Apple subscriptions for purchase, and there is a banner on the main Costco website that reads "Now at Costco. Apple TV+, Apple News+, and Apple Arcade. Get 1 year subscriptions at incredible values."

Who in their right mind would pay 9.99$ for News+????
The WSJ (biggest paper on news+) is normally $39 a month. If you’re fine reading from the news app, it a great deal even for that one paper. Throw in access to select local papers, pop-mech and pop-sci, Time, Times of London, plus more; and News+ is sort of a bargain at $9.99.
