Apple has announced a new slate of games and updates coming to Apple Arcade in September, led by the exclusive launch of NFL Retro Bowl '26. The service will also add Jeopardy! Daily and My Talking Tom Friends+ on September 4, with a major new adventure for Hello Kitty Island Adventure arriving later in the month.
Available only on Apple Arcade, NFL Retro Bowl '26 features authentic rosters and players in the series' classic retro style. A new NFL Retro Bowl Championship Leaderboard mode will let players compete in weekly matchups that align with the 2025 NFL season, earning points for their favorite teams.
Jeopardy! Daily brings the popular quiz show to the platform, with exclusive clues written by the show's own writers. Players can type their responses, compete in daily game boards and weekly tournaments, and climb global leaderboards. My Talking Tom Friends+ is an interactive life-sim that brings together all of the Talking Tom & Friends characters in one world for mini-games and virtual pet care.
On September 18, a major update is coming to Hello Kitty Island Adventure. The "Wheatflour Wonderland" update will introduce a new world of stained-glass castles and mysterious ruins, where players will meet a new character named Cogimyun. This follows other regular updates to the popular title, which was previously expanded back in April.
Other notable updates are coming for Disney Dreamlight Valley Arcade Edition, which adds an "Inside Out" realm on August 20; Mini Motorways, which gets a new Creative Mode on August 26; and Snake.io+, which is adding an "Among Us" collaboration on August 27.
Apple Arcade is available for $6.99 per month with a one-month free trial. An Apple Arcade subscription gives a family of up to six unlimited access to all the games in its catalog, with no ads or in-app purchases.
