You might have heard of Apple Arcade, the gaming subscription service from Apple, without ever really giving it a shot. Well, now is a great time to get stuck in, as it's chock-full of excellent titles that'll have you battling, puzzling and adventuring away for hours on end. Apple Arcade tries to do things a little differently to most gaming platforms. For one thing, it works across almost the entirety of Apple's product ecosystem. If you start playing a game on your Mac, you can pick up your progress on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or even a Vision Pro headset, with all your saved games and achievement progress carrying over from one device to the next. It's all made to be simple and completely seamless.
