Apple Arcade is expanding its gaming library ahead of the holiday season. Football Manager 27 Touch launched on November 11, 2026, bringing new features to the popular soccer management series.
Additionally, Apple plans to introduce four more games on December 3. The upcoming releases include familiar franchises, strategy challenges, and family-friendly adventures.
Football Manager 27 Touch Brings New Features
Football Manager 27 Touch allows players to manage soccer teams directly from their iPhones and iPads.
The latest installment introduces an updated Match Engine, giving managers greater control over match decisions and tactics.
Furthermore, improved Recruitment and Match Preparation tools help players scout talent and prepare their teams for upcoming matches.
Apple has also redesigned the iPhone interface to make navigation easier.
As a result, players can access most controls with their thumbs, making the experience more convenient on smaller screens.
Four New Games Arrive December 3
Apple Arcade will welcome four additional titles in December, offering something for different gaming preferences.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted brings the classic tower-defense experience back with fresh levels and gameplay modes.
Additionally, players can enjoy local cooperative matches and player-versus-player challenges on the same device. An exclusive Party Mode introduces another way to experience the game.
Meanwhile, solitaire(ish) combines card stacking with roguelike deck-building mechanics.
Published by Playstack, the company behind Balatro, the game challenges players to reach increasingly difficult score targets.
Players can also improve their decks using more than 150 special cards.
Prince of Persia and LEGO Expand the Lineup
Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+ will also join the service.
The Apple Arcade edition includes previously released downloadable content, including the Mask of Darkness story expansion.
Meanwhile, LEGO Duplo Playtime targets younger audiences with creative building activities.
Children can use digital LEGO Duplo bricks to design buildings, create imaginative worlds, and customize characters.
Apple Arcade Subscription Pricing
Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month and offers a one-month free trial.
Additionally, the service comes with Apple One subscriptions. The Individual plan costs $21.95 monthly, while Family and Premier plans cost $27.95 and $39.95, respectively.
With Football Manager 27 Touch already available and four more releases approaching, Apple Arcade is strengthening its holiday gaming selection.
