Starting October 22, customers who purchase nearly all Apple products will receive three months of Apple Arcade at no additional cost. Eligible devices include new iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, and Macs.
Apple Arcade typically retails for $4.99 a month, and saving $15 to gain access to over 100 exclusive games is a nice way to break in a new iPhone. The offer, however, is limited to just one per Family Sharing group.
Deals like this aren't uncommon from Apple. We've seen it do a similar thing with Apple TV, offering up a few free months when purchasing a new device. The bit of cash you save isn't a reason to go out and pick up a new iPhone, but it's a nice added benefit if you happen to already be in the market.
It's also been reported that Apple Arcade is on the receiving end of a huge investment by Apple. There's no denying the service has some great titles – just look at Oceanhorn 2 – but after a month of subscribing you've probably worked your way through most of the worthwhile titles. The big investment from Apple is an indication that it knows this is an issue and is now hoping to create titles that "rival the likes of Breath of the Wild."
We're hopeful that Apple Arcade will continue to grow, but until then you can use these three free months to check out everything it currently has to offer.
