Apple Arcade is adding two new puzzle games on September 3, giving subscribers more options for quick daily challenges and slower, relaxing sessions. Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ will join the service with no ads or in-app purchases.
The two games take very different approaches to puzzle gameplay, although both are designed around simple mechanics that players can understand quickly. Apple Arcade subscribers will get full access as part of the existing subscription.

Two new puzzle games coming September 3
- Block Blast!+ challenges players to place blocks on a grid and clear complete rows and columns while building higher scores and longer combos. The gameplay will feel familiar to players who enjoy classic block-based puzzle games, while the Apple Arcade version removes advertising interruptions.
- Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ uses jigsaw-style puzzles built around nature-inspired artwork, wildlife stories, and conservation themes. The game also includes accessibility features designed to make the slower puzzle experience easier for a wider range of players.
Apple Arcade will also add NFL Retro Bowl ’27, Coloring Games for Families+, and Let’s Play! Oink Games+ on September 3, expanding the monthly update beyond puzzle games.
Several existing titles will receive updates during August, including 28 new packs for puffies. on August 12, 200 additional levels for Simon’s Cat – Blast Time starting August 20, and a special 800th hoop update for stitch. on August 26.
Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month in the United States after a one-month free trial, while Apple One plans also include access to the service. A single Apple Arcade subscription supports Family Sharing for up to six people.
