Apple has unveiled its holiday lineup for Apple Arcade, with Football Manager 27 Touch available starting today and four more games, including Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+, arriving on December 3.
The new releases bring a mix of soccer management, strategy, action and family-friendly games to Apple’s subscription service. In its November 10 announcement, Apple confirmed that all five titles will be included with Apple Arcade at no additional charge for subscribers, without ads or in-app purchases.
Football Manager 27 Touch, developed by Sports Interactive, launches today with an updated Match Engine, new recruitment and match preparation tools, and a redesigned interface for iPhone. It joins other sports titles already available through Arcade, including NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition, Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition and NFL Retro Bowl ’27.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted brings back the original tower defense gameplay with additional levels and modes, including local cooperative play and player-versus-player battles on the same device. An Arcade-exclusive Party mode adds another way to play.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+ joins the service with its full action-adventure campaign and all downloadable content included, including the Mask of Darkness expansion. Players can explore Mount Qaf, tackle platforming challenges and use time-based abilities in combat.
The other two December additions are solitaire(ish) and LEGO DUPLO Playtime. Published by Playstack, solitaire(ish) mixes card-stacking gameplay with roguelike progression, collectible perks and more than 150 cards. LEGO DUPLO Playtime, from StoryToys, is aimed at younger children, with open-ended building and character creation.
Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month in the United States and £6.99 per month in the United Kingdom, with a one-month trial for eligible new subscribers. The subscription can be shared with up to five family members and is also included in Apple One. Supported devices vary by game, so subscribers should check individual App Store listings before downloading.
The holiday additions continue Apple’s regular expansion of Arcade, which offers more than 200 games across compatible devices. The Apple Post previously covered October’s arrivals, including Pusheen’s Place and Terraria+. The December lineup offers another reason for existing subscribers to revisit the service ahead of the holiday break.
