Apple Arcade is getting four new exclusive games in August 2025, with each offering something a little bit different. The headliner here is Worms Across Worlds, which is described as the ‘next evolution’ of the quirky, beloved Worms franchise, but there’s also other compelling picks in the lot.

That includes a Play-Doh-inspired game called Play-Doh World. This is a crafting adventure game that lets players create their own weird and wonderful objects, replicating the freedom of using Play-Doh in a digital environment. Per Apple, this game will let you craft anything, from weird and off-putting zoo animals, to stylish hairdos. The only limit, as with most things in life, is your imagination and your skill.

Elsewhere, subscribers will also get access to Let’s Go Mightycat! which follows an everyday cat transformed into ‘the universe’s most adorable conqueror.’ Players can customise their cat, and then must guide it through various stages, to conquer planets. This is actually a spin-off from tower defence game The Battle Cats, although it seems to integrate more puzzles.

The final new game coming to Apple Arcade is Everybody Shogi, which is a fresh take on the traditional Japanese strategy game of shogi, complete with more immersive visuals, and a range of ways to play.
