DREDGE+: A the complete edition of the award-winning fishing adventure to Apple Arcade. DREDGE+ was the App Store Awards’ iPad Game of the Year for 2025.
This version includes all released DLC content: The Pale Reach, The Iron Rig, Blackstone Key, as well as the custom rod. Players can experience the full breadth of this haunting maritime journey as they traverse foggy archipelagoes, dredge up treasures from the depths, and uncover mysteries lurking beneath the waves.
Unpacking+: This Cultural Impact winner of the 2023 App Store Awards is a “puzzle game about the familiar experience of removing possessions out of boxes and arranging them in a new home. Part block-fitting puzzle, part home decoration, Unpacking+ invites Arcade players to create a satisfying living space as they learn clues about the life they are putting together.”
My Very Hungry Caterpillar+: The multi-award-winning and App Store “Best of” My Very Hungry Caterpillar+ lets players care for their very own pet caterpillar.

It brings Carle’s timeless story to life in a delightful, interactive experience for the whole family to enjoy.
