4. Update to the latest software version: Make sure that the newly purchased device is updated to the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, or macOS, depending on the specific device you have.
5. Activate the device with the same Apple ID: When setting up the new device, be sure to activate it using the same Apple ID with which you plan to activate the Apple Arcade offer.
6. Time limit for free trial: After activating the device, you will have a maximum period of 93 days to request the free trial of Apple Arcade.

How Apple Arcade is activated for free for three months
Once you have powered on your iPhone or iPad and completed the initial setup, you need to log in with your Apple ID. Afterward, open the App Store and navigate to the Apple Arcade tab. On this tab, you will see a message inviting you to start a three-month free trial of the service. Simply accept the offer to begin the free trial period.
For Apple TV, you will need to go through the same initial setup process. Once that’s done, open the App Store on your Apple TV and locate the Apple Arcade application. You can activate the free trial directly within the Apple Arcade app. The same message will appear, and you need to accept it to start your free trial.
On your Mac, after completing the setup process, open the App Store and navigate to the Apple Arcade tab, which can be found in the side menu on the right. From there, you can activate the free subscription and begin enjoying the trial period.
How much does Apple Arcade cost?
In addition to the three-month free trial, Apple Arcade also offers a one-week free subscription option. This is available for devices that are compatible but do not meet the conditions mentioned earlier. If you have not used the free trial period before, you can activate the one-week free subscription on a device you already own.
Beyond the free trial options, Apple Arcade is priced at 4.99 euros per month for an individual subscription. Alternatively, you can access it as part of the Apple One bundle, which combines all of Apple’s services into a single payment. The individual Apple One plan costs 16.95 euros per month, the Family plan costs 22.95 euros per month, and the Premium plan costs 31.95 euros per month.
