Apple Arcade is preparing another batch of new releases for fans of puzzle games and relaxed gameplay. On 3 September Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ will join the service, two titles aimed at completely different types of players. The first focuses on a simple but highly addictive block-arranging mechanic. The second offers a much calmer experience, combining puzzles with stories about wildlife and conservation. Both games will be available on Apple Arcade with no ads or in-app purchases.

Block Blast!+ headed to Apple Arcade without ads

One of September’s most important new releases will be Block Blast!+, developed by Hungry Studio. The title uses a very simple mechanic that lets you start playing with almost no preparation. The player’s task is to place coloured blocks on the board so they form complete rows and columns. Clearing them scores points and at the same time makes room for the next pieces. The mechanic is easy to understand, but as you make more moves it requires increasingly better planning. It’s this combination of simple rules and high replayability that made Block Blast! hugely popular around the world. The version available on Apple Arcade will offer the same gameplay but without ads interrupting the fun. That means players will be able to focus solely on lining up combinations. The game works well both for a short break and for longer sessions on an iPhone or iPad. Block Blast!+ will thus join other popular puzzle games on Apple Arcade such as Grindstone, Flow Free+ and Crossword Jam+.

Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ will focus on relaxation and nature

The second major new release will be Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+, created by Klemens Strasser. The title offers a much calmer take on the puzzle genre and is designed as a relaxing experience. Players will assemble nature‑inspired images while learning stories about wildlife and conservation. The developers emphasised a meditative tone to the gameplay and accessibility features. As a result, the puzzles are intended to be welcoming to a wide audience, regardless of experience level. Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ previously received the 2025 App Store Award in the "Impact on Culture" category, which further highlights the title’s unique character. The game aims to combine the pleasure of solving puzzles with an educational portrayal of the natural world. Apple Arcade will thus add a title to its catalogue that could be an appealing alternative to more demanding puzzle games. In August, users will also get updates to other titles, including puffies., Simon’s Cat - Blast Time and stitch. Autumn therefore looks particularly interesting for Apple Arcade, because alongside new games the platform will also receive further major updates.
