Popular PC franchise Civilization comes to Apple Arcade on 5 February

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Arcade Edition, Retrocade, Felicity’s Door and I Love Hue Too+ join the service next month
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Arcade Edition comes to Apple Arcade on 5 February.
Build the greatest empire the world has ever known. On 5 February, the award-winning strategy franchise by legendary game designer Sid Meier comes to Apple Arcade with the launch of Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Arcade Edition. Players can now take this AAA PC gaming experience on the go, as it’s playable across iPhone, iPad and Mac. In a pivotal new chapter of the iconic series, empires evolve with the dawn of each distinct age of human history, and players’ strategic decisions will shape the unique cultural lineage of their civilisations. Whether players choose to follow a path rooted in history or imagine new possibilities, they can create a legacy that echoes through the ages. Civilization VII joins other popular PC games that have recently launched on Apple Arcade, including PowerWash Simulator and Cult of the Lamb Arcade Edition.
On 5 February, Apple Arcade welcomes three additional new games to its stand-out catalogue of highly rated games, all without ads or in-app purchases. Go back in time to the golden age of video arcades with Retrocade, enter a magical world of music and dreams in Felicity’s Door, and create order out of chromatic chaos in I Love Hue Too+.
Retrocade for Apple Vision Pro by Resolution Games.
Step into the neon glow of the ’80s and relive the thrill of the classic video arcade like never before. Retrocade brings acclaimed games from old-school arcades together in one place — no coins needed. Players can immerse themselves in an actual arcade with their Apple Vision Pro and experience games like Asteroids, Bubble Bobble, Centipede, Galaga, and more, just like how they were played when they were originally released. Retrocade games are also playable on iPhone and iPad.
Felicity’s Door is a brand-new rhythm game that takes players on a journey through Tom and Felicity’s magical world of dreams. Players will join the twins and their lovable bear Mi-chan as they travel deep into the depths of space, traverse seaside cliffs and navigate sprawling cyberpunk cities. And a fan-favourite from the App Store — I Love Hue Too+ — brings a psychedelic puzzle game full of colour, light and shapes, where players arrange mosaics of coloured tiles into perfectly ordered spectrums.
Alongside new games, players can also dive into their favourites with regular updates and exclusive crossovers. On 22 January, Paddington is back for another limited-time exclusive event in Crayola Create and Play+. Players will spend a special snowy day with Paddington, enjoying a host of winter-themed activities and games, like building a snowman, creative cake crafting, cosy colouring in and more.
