Over 100 games
Apple Arcade launched in September giving users the chance to play exclusive games across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, with players able to switch devices and pick up where they previously left off.
After launching with 71 titles, the service has been expanding slowly over time, most recently passing the 100 game mark.
We recently spoke to Kinda Funny's Greg Miller and Tim Gettys concerning their thoughts on Apple Arcade, among other topics.
