According to Apple, everybody’s a winner when it comes to Apple Arcade Games. This subscription service works on Apple devices and offers unlimited access to over 180 games, from classic arcade favorites to new releases. In addition, Apple promises to add new games each week. Besides arcade games, other content includes brain teasers, sports and racing themes, and even party games.
With plenty of choices for fun-lovers of all ages, Apple also includes parental controls and excludes upsells. After a one-month free trial, the subscription costs $4.95 a month and lets players access games across their Apple devices, such as iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, and Apple TV. Many games offer controller support, and a few games even require controllers. That being said, some games will not work on all devices.

What Do Parents Like About Apple Arcade Kids’ Games?
At first, it might seem like Apple Arcade mostly appeals to children. The service includes plenty of games for kids. However, it also offers features and content that parents should appreciate:
- Apple Arcade has games for older teens and adults, including adult party game titles such as Never Have I Ever and Truth or Dare.
- Adults can use parental controls to restrict their children’s content using Apple parental controls on various devices. They can restrict their children from certain content by age rating or content identifiers.
- The price is pretty fair at $4.95 per month. Apple Arcade offers access to a constantly updated list of fully-featured games that work on a variety of devices. This compares favorably to paying a few dollars for each game or putting up with upsells inside of free games.
How to Protect Apple Devices From Kids Being Kids
Certainly, plenty of parents want to give kids access to electronic devices. Besides playing games, kids can use smartphones, tablets and computers for education, communication and other kinds of entertainment.
At the same time, no parents can expect young children to always treat devices as well as they should. For kids just learning about responsibility, accidents happen – so your kids’ electronics will probably fall victim to an accidental spill or drop at some point.

Even better, Upsie charges less than their name-brand warranty competitors for comprehensive, high-quality service. Besides Apple devices, Upsie has protection plans for Android, Windows, and many more kinds of electronics.
