I canceled my Apple Arcade subscription after less than a month — here's why I wouldn't recommend the service for everyone
The problem? After my initial playtime, I felt no desire to boot up those games again.
In other words, Apple Arcade didn't turn me into a mobile gamer — even though I'd consider myself a "gamer" by any other standard. I boot up my PlayStation 4 usually once a day, and tend to play for two to three hours per sitting. I just didn't have the same compulsion to open those applications whenever I used my phone, tablet, or TV.
Apple Arcade is an excellent service if you already love mobile games. But for someone like me who doesn't primarily use their phone to play games, Apple Arcade didn't change that, and its cost wasn't worth the time I was going to spend with it.Apple Arcade lets you play games across any Apple device, picking up where you left off.I'm keenly aware that many of the games on Apple Arcade are not, quote-unquote, "mobile games.
My iPhone is my most-used device, followed by my Apple TV, followed by my iPad. But I'm not really thinking about playing games when I use those devices. When I'm on my iPhone, I want to browse the web and social apps like Reddit and Instagram. When I'm on my Apple TV, I want to stream YouTube or Netflix or Disney Plus. And when I'm on my iPad, I feel like I'd rather fiddle with Apple Pencil-enabled apps like Procreate.
Apple Arcade seems like a perfect service for kids. These games have been curated and approved by Apple, they can be played on multiple devices , and they can play hundreds of games — or just a few — and pay the same low price per month. Apple Arcade also seems great for anyone who spends a lot of time on trains or planes, and wants a good distraction. But if you weren't already playing mobile games, Apple Arcade may not change your habits, which was the case for me.
