Apple Arcade is expanding its game offerings this November with several well-known names. Football fans, in particular, have something to look forward to: Football Manager 26 Touch will be released on Apple Arcade on November 4th. Featuring a new graphics engine, an official Premier League license, and women's football for the first time, the new version of the popular manager series breathes fresh air into the genre. Remakes of the popular MySims and Toca Boca Jr. series will also be released in the same month. This further expands the subscription service's offerings, catering to both sports fans and families.

Apple Arcade has established itself as a major player in mobile gaming. For €6.99 a month, the service offers over 100 games, completely free of ads and in-app purchases. The subscription can be shared with up to six people, and anyone who buys a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV gets three months free. The service is also included in Apple One – in the Individual, Family, and Premium plans, each with a free trial month. In November, Apple Arcade will once again focus on well-known brands. In addition to the family-friendly classics MySims and Toca Boca Jr., Football Manager 26 Touch, one of the most well-known sports game series, returns – adapted to the Apple ecosystem and optimized for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.

Football Manager 26 Touch: New realism for the touchline

Football Manager 26 Touch focuses entirely on life on the sidelines. Transfers, tactics, lineups, and long-term planning take center stage. Every decision influences a club's success – from acquiring the next big talent to making crucial substitutions in injury time. This year's version brings several new features. For the first time ever, women's football is included. Visually, there have also been some significant changes: A new graphics engine ensures smoother movement, more realistic match scenes, and overall greater authenticity.

Thanks to the official Premier League license, all clubs, players, and logos are faithfully represented in the game. Sports Interactive and SEGA have redesigned the interface to ensure the game remains intuitive on all Apple devices. According to Studio Director Miles Jacobson, the return of Football Manager 26 Touch on Apple Arcade marks the beginning of a new era for the series. He emphasizes that the fully licensed content and the debut of women's football open up entirely new possibilities.

MySims and Toca Boca Jr.: Classics celebrate their comeback

It's not just sports fans who are getting a boost. New games for families and creative minds are also coming in November. With MySims and MySims Kingdom, Apple Arcade brings back two games from Maxis Studios' popular The Sims series. Both titles combine simple controls, likeable characters, and a high degree of creative freedom. Players can create their own characters, build houses, and experience short stories – all without time pressure or microtransactions.

Also new is Toca Boca Jr. Classics, a collection of the most popular games from the Toca Boca and Sago Mini universes. Aimed primarily at children, the series offers a safe, colorful environment where imagination takes center stage.
