If you are just starting to enjoy Apple Arcade , the titles you find may not convince you at all. So if you want some inspiration, we propose you some of the most interesting games and how to know what your friends are playing.
The best of Apple Arcade
With the arrival of Apple One, the company’s new proposal where they group different services at a much more attractive price, it is likely that you are discovering for the first time the video game catalog offered by Apple Arcade.

But leaving aside those less attractive options, if you want to try games that are quite worth it, here is a compilation with the 10 Apple Arcade titles that you should play . Or at least we recommend you.

Spaceland
Spaceland is another of the many strategy games available on Apple Arcade, the only big difference is that it turns out to be one of the few with a fairly dynamic rhythm. It’s quick and that helps the games not seem like forever. What’s more, the average of each of them is 10 or 15 minutes.

How to know what your friends are playing
These are the games that right now we recommend that you try, but of course there are many more and depending on the tastes of each one they may attract you more or less. However, there is another interesting option that goes beyond the recommendations that we can make or those that you can read by Apple in its compilations within Apple Arcade. We refer to those games that your friends are playing.
With the new versions of the iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS operating systems, a new section has been introduced within Apple Arcade that connects to Game Center to show you what your friends are playing. So, to find out, you just have to do the following:
- Open the App Store application on your iPhone, iPad, Mac and even Apple TV
- Select the Arcade tab
- Scroll down until you find the What my friends play section
In this new section, a list will appear on which you can scroll and where the most popular titles will be displayed for each friend you have added to Game Center. If you want to try one, you just have to tap on it and if it is in Apple Arcade it will start automatically.
Finally, if you have any recommendations, share. So we can all continue to discover worthwhile titles from Apple’s subscription gaming service.
