Subscribe to Apple Arcade on iPad

In the App Store app , you can subscribe to Apple Arcade to enjoy unlimited access to a curated collection of games on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. (Not all Apple Arcade games are available on Mac and Apple TV.)

Subscribe to Apple Arcade

In the App Store, tap Arcade, then tap the subscription button.
Review the free trial (if eligible) and subscription details, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Share Apple Arcade with family members

When you subscribe to Apple Arcade or Apple One, you can use Family Sharing to share Apple Arcade with up to five other family members. Your family group members don’t need to do anything—Apple Arcade is available to them the first time they open the App Store app after your subscription begins.

If you join a family group that subscribes to Apple Arcade or Apple One, and you already subscribe, your subscription isn’t renewed on your next billing date; instead, you use the group’s subscription. If you join a family group that doesn’t subscribe, the group uses your subscription.

Note: To stop sharing Apple Arcade with a family group, you can cancel the subscription, leave the family group, or (if you’re the family group organizer) stop using Family Sharing.

Change or cancel your Apple Arcade subscription
