Apple Arcade’s Holiday Lineup Adds Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted and Prince of Persia

Apple has announced its holiday gaming update for Apple Arcade, bringing several world-renowned franchises to the subscription gaming service, including Football Manager 27 Touch, Plants vs. Zombies, and Prince of Persia.

Available to play right now, Football Manager 27 Touch brings deep soccer management simulation directly to mobile and desktop screens. Developed by Sports Interactive, this year’s edition introduces an elevated Match Engine that gives players more tactical control over the action on the pitch.

To make managing on-the-go easier than ever, the game includes brand-new Recruitment and Match Preparation tools. These additions streamline scouting and game planning. Furthermore, developers have built a completely redesigned interface tailored specifically for the iPhone, ensuring that every important menu and tactical choice stays comfortably within thumb’s reach.

This release adds even more depth to Apple Arcade’s robust sports portfolio. It joins other popular titles already available on the service, including NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition, Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, NFL Retro Bowl ’27, PGA TOUR Pro Golf, and Retro Bowl College+.

Apple has confirmed that four additional games will join the Apple Arcade catalog, expanding the holiday variety with strategy, action, and family-friendly classics. While Football Manager 27 Touch is playable today, the remaining games in the holiday collection will roll out on December 3. Among the upcoming highlights are reimagined versions of legendary titles like Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+.

As always all new games included in this Apple Arcade holiday lineup come with zero ads and no in-app purchases. The service is bundled seamlessly with an iCloud+ subscription, making it easy for families to share access.
