LET’S PLAY

Play What’s New on Apple Arcade

Skill is key to survival in August’s lineup of new Apple Arcade games. Sprint for your life in Temple Run: Legends, then steel yourself for the frantic blend of action and roleplaying in Vampire Survivors+.

Temple Run: Legends

The hit runner series returns! Leap, slide, dodge, and swim around perilous obstacles as you surge ahead at high speed. After you reach level 20 of the stage-based challenges, you’ll unlock a classic-style endless mode with its own leaderboard. And with revamped visuals and thrilling new areas (wintry tundras! spooky swamps!), this iconic runner has never looked (or played) better.

Vampire Survivors+

Obliterating monstrous foes to acquire and upgrade ghoul-destroying gear is the only way to survive here! Even if you fail, there’s usually a reward on the other side—maybe a character to unlock, an achievement to check off, or a new stage to explore. Two DLC packs—Legacy of the Moonspell and Tides of the Foscari—are both included, so the retro-infused fun never fades. Grab some garlic and get out there!

Apple Arcade games are always getting better with added features like new heroes, extra modes, and amazing in-app events. Check out what’s getting updated this month, including two you can jump into right now! Our favorite grumpy green ogre, Shrek, is the star of puzzle game stitch.’s latest hoops. Then in the family-friendly Crayola Create and Play+, venture into the new Smithsonian Institute–themed area, complete with creative and educational activities.
