One advantage that Apple is offering is that every game will be playable offline – once it’s downloaded, no internet connection is required.
New games will be introduced on a monthly basis and family sharing will be available at no additional charge.
The announcement also teased gameplay for several games. No official titles have been released, although the selection looks to include a number of platformers, RPGs, and shooters.
