Apple Arcade reveals its festive line-up, including four Square Enix RPGs

Apple has listed the games coming to its Apple Arcade service in December and January.

Highlights include four Square Enix RPGs, all of which arrive on the service as ‘+’ versions.

Final Fantasy 4 (3D Remake)+ and Final Fantasy 4: The After Years+ will be arriving on December 9, while Final Fantasy+ and Trials of Mana+ will arrive a month later on January 9.

‘+’ versions of games on Apple Arcade are titles that are already available on the standard iOS App Store, but remove any monetisation present in those versions, be that an up-front price, in-game purchases or ads.

For example, Final Fantasy 4 (3D Remake) is currently on the App Store priced at $14.99, but the ‘+’ version will be included as part of an Apple Arcade subscription with no extra costs.

In terms of other games coming to Apple Arcade, December 5 will see the release of Talking Tom Blast Park, Boggle: Arcade Edition, Pac-Man 256+, Hot Wheels: Race Off+, Barbie Colour Creations+ and Little Cities: Diorama (Apple Vision Pro).

Then, on January 9, Gears & Goo (Vision Pro), Three Kingdoms Heroes, Rodeo Stampede+, and It’s Literally Just Mowing+ will be released alongside Final Fantasy+ and Trials of Mana+.

Recent Apple Arcade releases include NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition, NFL Retro Bowl 25 and Balatro+.
