It’s been on the regular App Store as a paid app for ages as well. This is for subscribers of Apple Arcade, who now get it as part of their subscription.
Ya, Play Pass is like Apple arcade. It has also been on the play store for years now.
Just seems weird it took so long to come to Apple arcade, when it was on both the play store and play pass for a long time.
Oh I’m dumb and just skipped over the word Pass in your comment. No idea why it took so long. It could have been a deal with Google or maybe Apple just didn’t offer them enough money in their eyes? Only the execs for whoever develops SV know really.
Maybe because Google was willing to pay more to have it temporarily exclusive on their service.
