Apple Arcade is kicking off September with two major new titles that tap into sports excitement and quiz show nostalgia. NFL Retro Bowl ’26 and Jeopardy! Daily both launch on September 4, delivering fresh experiences that arrive just in time for the fall season.
NFL Retro Bowl ’26 is the latest entry in the hit football series, combining retro-style visuals with updated rosters from the 2025 NFL season. The game mirrors the real-world NFL schedule, complete with a Championship Leaderboard that updates in sync with actual team performance. Its accessible controls and pixel-art presentation are paired with deeper team management features, letting players draft, trade, and lead their team to victory. This blend of simplicity and strategy has made the Retro Bowl series a favorite for football fans who want quick gameplay that still rewards skill.
Jeopardy! Daily offers a bite-sized version of the legendary quiz show, bringing new boards every day created by the same writers who work on the television program. The format is instantly familiar, answer in the form of a question, and is designed for quick play sessions that fit into any schedule. Players can take part in weekly global tournaments, adding a competitive edge to the classic trivia experience. With categories spanning history, pop culture, science, and more, the game aims to challenge players’ knowledge while keeping the pace lively.
Alongside these two launches, My Talking Tom Friends+ also arrives in September, giving fans of the popular virtual pet series an ad-free, fully unlocked version to enjoy. This edition removes all in-app purchase barriers, making it a more streamlined and premium experience for players of all ages.
While the lineup also includes a content update for Hello Kitty Island Adventure later in the month, the spotlight for September belongs to the new releases. By delivering a mix of competitive sports gameplay and timeless quiz entertainment, Apple Arcade continues to position itself as a subscription that can appeal to a wide range of players. At $6.99 per month or as part of Apple One, the service remains free of ads and microtransactions, keeping the focus firmly on the games themselves.
