Madden NFL 27 leads this week’s new Apple Arcade games

Apple Arcade is adding four new games to its catalogue this week, including Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which is available now.

Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition brings EA’s latest football game exclusively to Apple devices, offering a full Madden experience without ads or in-app purchases. Players can manage and coach their favourite NFL team throughout the season, making strategic decisions on and off the field while working toward a championship.

EA says the Arcade Edition includes controls designed specifically for mobile devices alongside guided tutorials intended to make the game approachable for newcomers. Players can jump into Franchise and Quick Play modes, with current NFL rosters represented in-game. Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition also features dynamic player ratings that change based on real-world NFL performances throughout the season.

Joining Madden NFL 27 this week is Retro Bowl College+, bringing the popular retro-inspired college football game to Apple’s subscription service. Everyday Puzzles: Mini Games+ and Water Sort Puzzle: Get Color+ round out this week’s additions.

As with all Apple Arcade releases, the four games don’t include advertisements or additional in-app purchases.

Separately, Mac players have another new game to check out this week. Big Walk, the latest title from House House, the Australian developer behind Untitled Goose Game, is now available through the Mac App Store.

Big Walk is a cooperative multiplayer adventure supporting between two and 12 players. Groups explore an open environment together while communicating, solving puzzles, and completing challenges. Unlike this week’s Apple Arcade additions, Big Walk isn’t included with Apple’s gaming subscription. The game is available as a standalone purchase on the Mac App Store for $19.99 CAD.

Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, Retro Bowl College+, Everyday Puzzles: Mini Games+, and Water Sort Puzzle: Get Color+ are all available through Apple Arcade starting today. Apple Arcade is available in Canada for $8.99 CAD per month and is also included with eligible Apple One subscriptions. Games can be played across supported iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro devices.
