Apple Arcade — a CNET Editors’ Choice award pick — features hundreds of games to play for just $5 (£5, AU$8) a month. The service offers familiar and classic games, as well as exclusive titles. You can find these games in the regular App Store, but they have paywalls and ads that might hinder your gaming experience. With an Apple Arcade subscription, you can play each game without paywalls or ads at no extra charge.
Here are the new games you can play in January.
