Best upcoming Apple Arcade games of October 2025

1. NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition

Release Date: October 16, 2025

Next up is NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition from 2K Games, the latest installment in a basketball series I’ve always loved for its quick and exciting gameplay. You can create your ideal team, compete against friends online, and experience the thrill of being right at the game.

As a longtime NBA 2K player, I immediately loved the new NBA Era feature in Association mode. It lets you become a General Manager and experience classic periods of basketball history. What’s really cool is that it features correct player lineups, throwback jerseys, historic arenas, and you unlock new eras the more you play.

The MyCAREER mode is a highlight, now featuring new player templates inspired by legends like Vince Carter and current star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. You’ll also enjoy special ‘GOAT’ skills and a redesigned Neighbourhood, complete with fresh courts, challenges, and rewards.

Whether you’re competitive or just enjoy playing, NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition offers a variety of ways to play: go head-to-head in 1v1 matches, team up for 2v2 action, experience streetball in Blacktop mode, or play authentic 5v5 NBA games. With tutorials, drills, mini-games, and impressive graphics, NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition is a fantastic addition to the App Store.

2.  Thomas & Friends: Let’s Roll+

Release Date: October 2, 2025

Next up is *Thomas & Friends: Let’s Roll+*, a game that brings the world of Sodor to life! Kids can drive their favorite engines like Thomas and Bruno. It’s easy to control, and the Track Builder feature lets them create, decorate, and play with their own railway designs.

I’m really excited about this new game! It’s made for *all* kids, and they actually worked with autistic writer Jody O’Neil to make sure it’s a comfortable and fun experience for everyone. You’ve got Bruno the Brake Car hanging out as a friendly helper as you go on adventures like Old Mine and meet characters I already love, like Gordon and Nina. The best part? No annoying ads! You can find it on the App Store if you want to check it out.

3. Dominoes: Classic Tile Game+

Release Date: October 2, 2025

Next month, MobilityWare is releasing a fresh, updated version of the classic tile game, Dominoes: Classic Tile Game+. You can play in modes like Draw Dominoes and All Five, compete against different players, and try to rank high on the leaderboards to show off your strategy skills.

Plus, with daily rewards, milestones, and challenges, there’s always something fresh to keep you hooked. I’m really excited to experience the smooth gameplay, send fun emotes, and unlock achievements. If you’re looking for relaxing but competitive games, you can find it on the App Store.

4. Piffle+

Release Date: October 2, 2025

You’re in for a fun surprise with Hipster Whale’s Piffle+! This playful arcade puzzle game is bursting with creativity and features incredibly cute cats. If you love cats, you’ll have a blast dressing up in a cat costume, bouncing Piffle balls to smash blocks, and guiding the playful Doc Block through colorful levels.

You’ll probably love this game! It has tons of levels, smart power-ups, and cute collectible characters. What I really like is that you can play whenever you want, try to beat your own best scores, and compete with friends. If you’re looking for a fun and sweet puzzle game, check it out on the App Store.
