Apple today announced that three additional games will be added to the Apple Arcade library on Thursday, September 4, including new NFL and Jeopardy! titles.
Just in time for the start of the upcoming NFL season on September 4, NFL Retro Bowl '26 features authentic NFL players and rosters with retro styling. In this year's version of the game, there is a new Retro Bowl Championship Leaderboard that tasks players with competing against each other in weekly matchups, in line with the NFL schedule.
Jeopardy! Daily brings a version of the beloved quiz show to Apple Arcade across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.
The third new game coming to Apple Arcade next month is My Talking Tom Friends+, which lets kids care for virtual pets and more.
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 also bundled with other Apple services in all Apple One plans.

Apple is looking for a "breakthrough" with its push into wearable AI devices, including an "AirTag-sized pendant," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In a report this week, he said the pendant is reminiscent of the failed Humane AI Pin, but it would be an iPhone accessory rather than a standalone product.

Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models at the same time, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch. The iPhone 18 series is no different, and we already have a good idea of what to expect for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

I know complaining about this service is a cliché. But wow, this is embarrassing. It's luck for Apple that there are some good games in the back-catalogue, such as Vampire Survivors and Balatro, but I wonder which games got retired to make space for My Talking Tom Friends+?
When I look at Apple Arcade games, I think Apple should licence all the Sega Master System games. This way there would be no need to create new "retro" games. This would give Apple Arcade a whole bunch of simple and fun games to play and I suppose licensing would cost less than what Nintendo would ask for (they wouldn't want to licence anyway) or what it would cost to develop a bunch of new "retro" games.
