Apple said in an announcement, "Apple Arcade is the ultimate gaming destination for families, offering an evolving catalog of more than 200 fun games with no ads, no in-app purchases, support for Apple’s high user privacy standards, and an all-inclusive subscription offer with access for up to six family members." The company said Nick Jr. Replay is designed to offer safe play that supports skills in math, reading, art, and problem-solving.
