Apple Arcade adds new games for subscribers every month, and Apple just announced that there are four new titles coming in October, including NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition.
Four new Apple Arcade games in October are headlined by NBA2K26
Apple Arcade users recently gained two new games, NFL Retro Bowl ’26 and Jeopardy! Daily, but the lineup of October releases shows more on the way soon.
On October 2, Arcade is adding three new games:
- Dominoes: Classic Tile Game+
- Piffle+
- Thomas & Friends: Let’s Roll+
But the bigger highlight of the month arrives a couple weeks later.
On Thursday, October 16, users can play NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition with a brand new NBA Eras feature.
Although Apple Arcade is still home to a bunch of great indie titles, games based on big IP have become more the norm for the subscription service lately. You can read more here on the service’s shifting trends.

Apple Arcade is available as a standalone service for $6.99/month or included in the Apple One bundle. It includes access to over 200 games with no ads or in-app purchases.
