Apple unveiled its October 2024 Apple Arcade lineup, featuring the highly anticipated NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition () as the star attraction. Following yesterday's announcement of Balatro, Apple confirmed NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition's October 3rd launch alongside three App Store Greats. This release is significant as it introduces The Neighborhood to iOS, allowing players to explore its immersive world, compete on outdoor streetball courts, recruit NBA legends, and master a new badge system, all enhanced by limited-time quests. See the gameplay screenshot below:

Joining NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition as App Store Greats are Smash Hit+, Furistas Cat Cafe+, and Food Truck Pup+. Having prior experience with Smash Hit+, I'm eager to explore the other additions, time permitting after my current Balatro+ sessions. For those interested in accessing these new games, NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition is available now on Apple Arcade. With Balatro+ and NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition, this month is shaping up to be one of Apple Arcade's strongest yet. What are your thoughts on the newly announced games?
