Apple Arcade is still around, and it's still a priority—at least, that's the message we imagine Apple's surprise launch of 20 new games on the same day seeks to send.

The new games include (but aren't limited to) a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-branded battler titled TMNT Splintered Fate, a Disney-themed Scrabble-like game called Spellstruck developed in partnership with a Words With Friends co-creator, a city builder called Cityscapes: Sim Builder, and a follow-up to the Arcade smash hit What the Golf? titled What the Car? (If you haven't played What the Golf? yet, you probably should—it's available on other platforms now, too.)

There are also a few updated versions of classic premium games from prior eras of iPhone gaming, like LIMBO, Kingdom Two Crowns, Farming Simulator 20, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Temple Run, and Bennett Foddy's Getting Over It—think of those like Apple's equivalent of a TV-streaming service also offering episodes of classic TV shows like The Office or Star Trek.
