Apple Arcade is preparing another major update to its catalogue, this time aimed mainly at fans of puzzle games. On 3 September the service will add Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+. The first is an extremely popular puzzle game that will arrive on Arcade without ads or in-app purchases. The second offers a calmer, more relaxing experience centred on nature and environmental conservation. Apple also promises further updates to existing games and more new releases, making autumn look set to be genuinely interesting for Arcade users.
Block Blast!+ arrives on Apple Arcade
Block Blast!+ is a game created by Hungry Studio that has become hugely popular thanks to very simple rules and gameplay that's easy to get hooked on. Players arrange coloured blocks on the board to form complete rows and columns. Clearing them earns points and frees up space for more pieces. The mechanics are dead simple to pick up, but over time they require increasingly careful planning of your moves. The game is therefore ideal both for a short break and a longer session. The version marked '+' arrives on Apple Arcade on 3 September. The biggest change compared with the standard release will be the absence of ads. Subscribers won't have to worry about in-app purchases either. That means the entire game will be available as part of the Arcade subscription. Block Blast!+ will thus join other popular puzzle games on the service, such as Grindstone, Flow Free+ and Crossword Jam+. For anyone looking for a simple but engrossing puzzle game, it will be another appealing option.
Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ focuses on relaxation and nature
The second new release will be Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+, a much calmer option aimed at players who prefer relaxing gameplay over competition. The title was created by Klemens Strasser and won the App Store Award 2025 in the "Impact on Culture" category. Players get puzzles that let them create colourful images inspired by the natural world. The gameplay is designed to be soothing, meditative and accessible to a broad audience. The developers also implemented accessibility features so more people can enjoy the experience. An important part of the title is not only the puzzles themselves but also stories about wildlife and conservation. The game therefore aims to combine entertainment with learning about the natural world. Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ will arrive on Apple Arcade on the same day as Block Blast!+, that is 3 September. The two titles are meant to complement each other in terms of play style. One offers fast, absorbing block-based play, while the other focuses on calmly assembling pictures. The Arcade catalogue will also see further updates, as puffies. will receive 28 new packs on 12 August, and Simon's Cat - Blast Time will start receiving new levels from 20 August.
Apple Arcade will gain two new puzzle games on 3 September: Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+. The first title leans on the popular block-matching mechanic, while the second offers calm, nature-inspired puzzles. Both games will be available through the subscription, ad-free and with no in-app purchases. Apple is also expanding its existing catalogue and has announced further releases for the autumn.
