After a major Madden NFL 27 release in August, Apple Arcade is adding “two beloved puzzlers” to the ad-free platform in September.
Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ join Apple’s game subscription service in September
Apple has announced that September’s Arcade update will introduce two new puzzlers to the platform: Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+. Both titles will arrive on Apple Arcade starting Thursday, September 3.
Whether gamers are looking for high-octane action or a laid-back afternoon, Apple Arcade has a little bit of everything for every player, and its puzzle catalog is getting a big upgrade. On September 3, two standout new titles join the mix: Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+. Block Blast!+ brings one of the most popular daily puzzle games to Arcade, while the 2025 App Store Award winner for Cultural Impact — Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ — combines soothing jigsaw-style gameplay with rich storytelling about the natural world.
Based on the screenshots, Block Blast!+ in particular should satisfy anyone looking for a Tetris-style fix.
Art of Fauna, on the other hand, delivers cozier “nature-inspired artwork” at a calmer pace.
Like all titles on Apple Arcade, there are no ad interruptions or in-app purchases. Everything is included as part of the Apple Arcade subscription.
Apple also highlights more new content coming to Arcade starting tomorrow and through August:
Later this month, updates are coming to other popular games beloved by players. On August 12, puffies. adds 28 new packs that include two collections with artwork for Oden Tomodachi and The Knights. Starting on August 20, Simon’s Cat – Blast Time unleashes 200 new levels, rolling out 50 a week for a month of fresh challenges. And on August 26, stitch. celebrates a huge milestone — 800 unique hoops — with a special commemorative hoop and achievement.
