Apple's latest Arcade update includes a new Apple Vision Pro game, a new App Store Great title, and the promotion of an existing App Store Great to an Apple Arcade Original. Let's break down the highlights:
NFL Retro Bowl 25 (Initially reported as an update, but launched as a new app) lets players build their own NFL dynasty using official teams and players, complete with authentic retro artwork, stats, and contracts. The online excitement surrounding this release was surprising, even to those not deeply invested in the NFL. We hope the final product lives up to the anticipation.
Alongside NFL Retro Bowl 25, the App Store Great title Monster Train+ has arrived on Apple Arcade, bundled with the "Last Divinity" DLC.

- Rabbids Multiverse: New cards, outfits, seasonal events, and quality-of-life improvements.
