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

Block Blast!+ will arrive on Apple Arcade ad-free

One of the most notable September releases will be Block Blast!+, developed by Hungry Studio. The game uses a very simple mechanic that lets you start playing with virtually no preparation. The player's task is to place colored blocks on the grid to form full rows and columns. Removing them earns points and frees up space for new pieces. The mechanic is easy to understand, but as you make more moves it requires increasingly better planning. It's that combination of simple rules and high replayability that made Block Blast! hugely popular worldwide. The Apple Arcade version will offer the same gameplay but without ads interrupting play. That means users can focus solely on building new combinations. The game is well suited for both a short break and a longer session on 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 addition will be Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+, created by Klemens Strasser. The title offers a much calmer approach to the puzzle genre and is designed as a relaxing experience. Players will arrange nature-inspired images while learning stories about wildlife and conservation. The developers emphasized a meditative gameplay style 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 an App Store Award 2025 in the "Impact on Culture" category, which further highlights the title’s distinctive character. The game aims to combine the pleasure of solving puzzles with an educational portrayal of the natural world. Apple Arcade will thus enrich its catalog with a title that could be an interesting alternative to more demanding puzzle games. In August, users will also receive updates to other titles, including puffies., Simon’s Cat – Blast Time, and stitch. So fall looks particularly interesting for Apple Arcade, because in addition to new games the platform will also receive further major updates.
