With 100 new titles available to play across all the company's devices, the new offering is a major step for the tech giant into the video game industry.
With an active install base of 1.4 billion devices worldwide, the Silicon Valley tech giant offers a considerable platform and, with the launch of its Apple Arcade service on Thursday, has signaled to the gaming industry that it is a major player in the booming marketplace.
A family subscription to Apple Arcade, which allows access for up to six members, costs $5 per month. The games can be played across any of Apple's devices and progress is saved via the iCloud, which allows for players to begin a game on their iPhone, set it down, and pick up where they left off on their iPad or Apple TV. Titles can also be played offline.
