iPhone users grab one of the biggest releases of 2024 that people just couldn’t put down for free

EVERYONE knows about the big gaming subscriptions, Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, but there are many others on the market.

While these two are great for home console players, there are other ways for people to gain access to a library of games for a monthly cost.

Nintendo Switch Online offers handheld fans a library of over 270 classic games, while Netflix and Crunchyroll cater to mobile gamers who can grab games with their TV and film subscriptions.

However, many people don’t know about Apple Arcade, which lets iPhone and iPad users play mobile games for £6.99/$6.99.

The subscription includes over 200 games, and also has games for Apple computers and the Vision Pro.

Apple recently added one of 2024’s biggest games to the roster and now more people than ever are getting glued to their screens.

Balatro is a Poker rogue-like where you collect different Jokers in order to multiply your score.

Instead of bluffing you have to outplay your opponent with increasingly complicated Poker hands.

As it takes multiple playthroughs to understand the best strategies, it keeps people coming back for just one more round.

Balatro was originally exclusive to PC, but since it quickly exploded in popularity, and has since been ported to multiple platforms.

The mobile version is considered the most dangerous, as you always have your phone on hand to dip in for another round.

Balatro is now available via Apple Arcade, but a number of other games on the service also received updates.

Crossy Road Castle features a new Among Us crossover with 20 new levels, Synth Riders has a whole new music pack to play with.

There’s a new time-limited underwater event for What the Golf?, and mini-games have been added to Hill Climb Racing.

Mirror modes have been added to Angry Birds Reloaded, and there’s a new character to collect in Temple Run.

Finally, new characters have been added to Disney Coloring World, and the story arc for SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit concludes.

If you want to sign up to Apple Arcade, you can do so via the App Store, or you can purchase Balatro individually for £9.99/$9.99.
