NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition will join Apple Arcade on October 16, letting fans build teams, explore NBA eras, and step into the shoes of NBA stars in MyCAREER mode.
Apple Arcade is gearing up to roll out NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition this October, following the recent launch of NFL Retro Bowl '26. The game includes updated graphics and features that let players compete online or build a championship team.
Fans can build their own teams and explore the league's greatest eras in The Association mode. It also includes multiplayer games in MyCAREER and updated rosters.
"In MyCAREER, we've even made it easier for you to make your MyPLAYER just like the pros, using the player templates to craft builds just like Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, or your new cover athlete, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander," said Rebecca Chan, Visual Concepts' general manager.
"It's an honor to pay tribute to the legends who shaped this sport, and we can't wait for our players to experience the new Arcade Edition."
Players can head to the NBA 2k26 Arcade Edition App Store page to enable notifications for when the game is available.
Also coming to Apple Arcade
On October 2, Apple Arcade will bring three games from the App Store to Apple Arcade. This time, the rollout includes one children's game and two puzzle games.
Preschoolers can enjoy Thomas & Friends: Let's Roll, a sandbox-style game that allows kids to drive their favorite engines with kid-friendly controls. Additionally, there's even a track-building mode, perfect for designing tracks and enhancing them with scenery options.
Piffle+ is a brick breaker game, in the same vein as Arkanoid or Breakout. Players can also craft and collect Piffle balls, helping them clear more challenging levels.
Dominoes: Classic Tile Game+ brings the fun of dominoes to iPhone and iPad. With its multiple game modes and daily challenges, it's perfect for beginners and seasoned pros alike.
