Apple Arcade May 7 line-up

Apple Arcade will add four family-focused games on May 7, led by Nick Jr. Replay! and three more titles Apple announced in an April 7 newsroom post. (apple.com) Apple said the May 7 drop includes Good Pizza, Great Pizza+, Perchang World, and Ultimate 8 Ball Pool+ alongside Nick Jr. Replay!. The company described the additions as part of its catalog of new releases, classics, and App Store favorites. (apple.com) Nick Jr. Replay! is aimed at younger players, with 50-plus minigames built around math, reading, art, and problem-solving, according to its App Store listing. Apple’s announcement framed it as a character-driven game tied to Nick Jr. shows. (apps.apple.com, apple.com) Good Pizza, Great Pizza+ comes from TapBlaze and turns a long-running mobile hit into an Apple Arcade “plus” release, which means no ads and no in-app purchases inside the subscription version. Its App Store description calls it a business simulation cooking game built around customer orders, toppings, and daily profit. (apps.apple.com, apple.com) Perchang World is the most clearly new production in the group. Apple called it an evolution of the original Perchang physics puzzler, and the App Store listing says it will launch with more than 200 levels across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. (apple.com, apps.apple.com) The original Perchang game was built around routing small balls through obstacle courses by triggering color-coded devices, magnets, fans, and flippers. That older setup helps explain Apple’s “physics puzzler” label for the new game. (perchang.com, apps.apple.com) The Perchang World App Store page says the game adds a story layer and a guide called “the Narrator,” and Apple’s promotional material says comedian James Acaster voices that role. The listing also says the game supports controllers and carries an ages 4+ rating. (apps.apple.com, apple.com) Ultimate 8 Ball Pool+ rounds out the slate with head-to-head pool matches and photorealistic graphics, according to Apple. Like the other “plus” releases in Arcade, it is positioned as a subscription version without separate in-app purchases. (apple.com, apps.apple.com) Apple Arcade is sold as a subscription service with one catalog across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, and Apple says the service has no ads or in-app purchases. This May lineup keeps leaning on familiar brands, established mobile games, and all-ages play instead of blockbuster console-style exclusives. (apple.com, apple.com) The next marker is simple: these four games are scheduled to hit Apple Arcade on Wednesday, May 7, 2026. Apple has already posted the listings, so the company is using early App Store pages and its newsroom to start the pitch before release day. (apple.com, apps.apple.com)
