Retro gaming hits iPhones: Antstream Arcade arrives next week

Jun 21, 2024 8:09 PM

Antstream Arcade, a popular cloud-based gaming subscription service, will expand into iPhones and iPads starting June 27. It offers a vast library of retro video games, including classics like Space Invaders, Asteroids, and Pac-Man, at an introductory price of $3.99 per month or $29.99 a year. This move follows recent Apple policy changes that facilitate the inclusion of game streaming apps on the App Store. Unlike Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now, which require web browsers on iOS, Antstream Arcade provides a dedicated app for a richer gaming experience on Apple devices.

What is Antstream Arcade?n

Antstream Arcade is a cloud-based gaming subscription service that gives users access to over 1300 retro video games, playable on multiple platforms including Android, Windows PCs, Xbox, and now iPhones and iPads.

Antstream Arcade's collection includes iconic games such as Space Invaders, Asteroids, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Pac-Man, and Metal Slug 2, making it a significant player in the retro gaming community. Their expansion to Apple devices aligns with a growing trend where companies are pushing earlier boundaries to provide comprehensive, cross-platform services to their users. This broadens access to retro gamers, enhancing the reach and diversity of classic titles across various devices.
