Apple Arcade Is About To Lose A Bunch Of Games

The new Leaving Arcade Soon tab includes titles like “Atone: Heart of the Elder Tree,” “BattleSky Brigade: Harpooner,” “Cardpocalypse,” “Dead End Job,” “Don’t Bug Me!,” “Dread Nautical,” “EarthNight,” “Explottens,” and more. So far, Apple hasn’t provided any word on when these titles will leave and if they will disappear all at once. There might be a new support document or an announcement coming soon, but as things stand now, there is complete silence on that front.

There are, however, even bigger questions regarding these and future games that will be exiting the service. Will these titles be available in the App Store for full purchase or will they simply be gone forever? If they are going to be sold on their own later on, will game save data be restored or will that info also be gone for good? Although games have left Apple Arcade before, this is the first time such a large number have been listed, so, naturally, there are concerns about the future of the titles.

The availability of games after Apple Arcade might boil down to a case-by-case basis, but it would be good if Apple offered some guidance on how it will handle the transition. Better yet, perhaps it could even offer discounts to subscribers who want to purchase the full game, similar to what Xbox does. There are definitely many questions that need to be addressed, especially regarding the overall future of Apple Arcade, and subscribers might want to keep an eye on what could be the start of big changes to the service.
