Apple today announced that four additional games will be added to the Apple Arcade library on Thursday, August 7, including Play-Doh World.
Exclusive to Apple Arcade, Play-Doh World lets you create digital Play-Doh characters and more.
"Whether sculpting, stretching, squishing, or squashing, kids are invited to unlock their imagination with creative activities, fun games, and rewarding interactions," part of the App Store description for the game says.
Apple's full description of the game, from its press release:
Play-Doh brings its magic to the digital space with Play-Doh World, allowing players to craft their own characters and watch them spring to life. From inventing wild zoo animals to styling outrageous salon hairdos, every corner of this colorful universe responds to the player's creative whim. With dozens of interactive zones, collectible special Play-Doh, and regular content updates, Play-Doh World offers creative activities and open-ended, imagination-led play — all in a safe, ad-free environment.
The three other games that are coming to Apple Arcade on August 7:
Apple Arcade is a subscription service that provides access to hundreds of games across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. All of the games are free of ads and in-app purchases. In the U.S., Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month, and it is bundled with other Apple services in all Apple One plans.
Apple's restrained artificial intelligence strategy may pay off in 2026 amid the arrival of a revamped Siri and concerns around the AI market "bubble" bursting, The Information argues.

Apple hasn't updated the Mac Pro since 2023, and according to recent rumors, there's no update coming in the near future. In fact, Apple might be finished with the Mac Pro.
Bloomberg recently said that the Mac Pro is "on the back burner" and has been "largely written off" by Apple. Apple apparently views the more compact Mac Studio as the ideal high-end pro-level desktop, and it has almost...
People always say things like this or "Apple doesn't care about gaming" which simply is not true, especially when we look at how far we've come in recent years:
We have the METAL API which is getting constant updates. Apple silicon is getting constant eGPU upgrades and getting fast and faster. There is a new Gaming Center that is in the new betas, and more AAA titles are coming to Mac like Cyberpunk, Balder's Gate, Death Stranding, Resident Evil 7, Rise of Tomb Raider, Borderlands 3, Assassin's Creed, No Man's Sky, and Valheim to name a few. Not all of these are AAA, but they're great games nonetheless.
Apple is putting effort into gaming, but it's simply not going to happen over night. This doesn't sit well in an instant-gratification age. I'd love to simplify my desk setup and get rid of my gaming PC, but we have to be patient.
I don't understand people who say "Mac will never game" as if they have a crystal ball. Is gaming a priority for Mac? No, not exactly, but we can't deny they are working on it and they have the resources to do it.
Instant gratification? You’re probably a Millennial, as we have been promised great Apple gaming support since at least 1994, just be completely disappointed after each unfulfilled announcement. Go ask Gabe Newell or any of the really big developers if they care about Metal (or basically every API supported by Apple before it).
