The launch of Apple Arcade for a wide audience took place a little earlier than planned. On September 16, iOS users who managed to install the iOS 13 beta got the opportunity to try out a new subscription service.
Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman was one of the first to draw attention to this. He noted that the service was launched three days earlier than planned.

Это вряд ли произошло случайно. В тот же день Apple опубликовала официальный пресс-релиз, предваряющий запуск сервиса, а старший вице-президент по маркетингу компании Филипп Шиллер (Philip Schiller) у себя в Twitter объявил: «Время играть».

Пока что в сервисе нет ста обещанных игр, пишет Users talk about access to only 53 titles.
Recall that Apple Arcade is one of the key innovations of the Apple ecosystem. The new service for $4.99 (199 rubles in Russia) per month opens access to an updated library of games in which there are no ads or IAP.
