Apple Arcade Holiday Lineup: Football Manager 27 Touch Is Live, Prince of Persia and Plants vs Zombies Land December 3
Apple just loaded the holiday truck. Football Manager 27 Touch is live on Apple Arcade starting today, and four more games join the service on December 3, headlined by Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+.
The deal is the same one Arcade always offers, and it still works: every game free of ads and in app purchases, one subscription covering a family of up to six, playable across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro. In the US the service runs $6.99 a month.
FOOTBALL MANAGER IN YOUR POCKET
Football Manager 27 Touch puts the manager's seat in your pocket. Sports Interactive brought an elevated Match Engine, new Recruitment and Match Preparation tools, and a redesigned iPhone interface built for thumbs. It joins a deep sports bench on Arcade that already runs NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition and Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition.
THE DECEMBER 3 DROP
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted brings back PopCap's lawn defense classic with new levels, fresh modes, local co op and player versus player battles on the same device, plus an Arcade exclusive Party mode. Some games are just built to be replayed every few years, and this is one of them.
PRINCE OF PERSIA GETS THE FULL PACKAGE
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+ is the big get for action fans. Sargon, Mount Qaf, time powers, acrobatic swordplay, the whole beautiful thing, and the Arcade version carries all of the downloadable content, including the Mask of Darkness story expansion. No extra purchase, no piecing it together. The complete game, in the subscription.
THE TWO QUIET ONES
Playstack, the publisher behind Balatro, brings solitaire(ish), a rogue like twist on solitaire with soaring card stacks, rising score goals, and more than 150 special cards to collect. For the little ones, LEGO DUPLO Playtime from StoryToys is a calm, open ended digital toy chest for building playful worlds.
