Apple Arcade’s Big November Drop: Crossy Road Rush, NBA 2K27, More

Apple Arcade has added four new games as of November 5, expanding its lineup with both high-profile titles and casual favorites. The new arrivals are NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition, Crossy Road Rush, Food Stylist – Design Game+, and KAMI 2+. These join a growing roster of over 200 ad-free games included with the service. NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition notably introduces WNBA teams to the franchise on Arcade for the first time. Crossy Road Rush takes the classic Crossy Road concept and transforms it into an adventure-focused obstacle course with collectible characters and multiplayer fun for up to four players.

Coming Update and Game Departures

Set for release on November 10 is Football Manager 27 Touch, an update to Football Manager 26 Touch. The update brings refreshed player rosters, tweaks to match preparation, and a redesigned interface optimized for iPhone play.

Apple Arcade is also enhancing existing games. Recent updates have added new content and features to PowerWash Simulator, Flow Free+, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Crayola Create and Play+, Snake.io+, and River City Survivors.

But it’s not all additions—some titles are being removed. Dandara: Trials of Fear+, Oddmar+, and PUZZLE & DRAGONS STORY are set to leave the Arcade catalog soon.

What This Means for Players

Apple Arcade is available either as a standalone subscription at $6.99/month or included in the Apple One bundle. The service offers access to its catalog without ads or in-app purchases, positioning itself as a premium alternative to free-to-play marketplaces.

This latest slate shows Arcade’s strategy clearly: bolstering its sports gaming credentials with the inclusion of WNBA teams and reinforcing its casual, family-friendly appeal with titles like Crossy Road Rush and design-driven games. For players, the departure of certain titles underscores the importance of checking what’s available now versus what’s leaving. The forthcoming update to Football Manager also hints at Apple’s commitment to keeping long-standing franchises fresh and tailored to mobile gameplay.
