The Apple Vision Pro will get three “spatial games” when it launches on February 2. Game Room, Super Fruit Ninja, and Apple Arcade standout What the Golf? will all launch on the platform, though Apple hasn’t shared many details about them yet.

Previously, Apple had been underplaying the role of gaming on its new headset. We knew it would be able to access Apple Arcade games and other apps, playing them on a flat screen inside the headset, but it didn’t seem like it had any new gaming component. The launch announcement revealed that Apple is, in fact, creating some games for the device that’ll take advantage of the tech.

Details on all three games are sparse, as they’re all namedropped in the announcement as upcoming games. Apple says these titles will “take advantage of the powerful capabilities of Apple Vision Pro to transform the space around players, offering unique and engaging gameplay experiences.”

Of the three new games, Game Room is a total mystery, with Apple sharing no details on the title. Super Fruit Ninja sounds self-explanatory, as it’s reasonable to assume that it will be a variation on the popular mobile title Fruit Ninja. More exciting is that the Vision Pro will get a new version of What the Golf?, a comedic sports game among Apple Arcade’s best games. It’s currently unclear if the Vision Pro version is a new version of the game or a mode added to the current app.

Apple hasn’t yet shared exactly how Vision Pro users will access those games. Digital Trends has reached out to Apple to clarify if they’ll require an Apple Arcade subscription or be available as separate apps. We’ve also asked for clarification on each game’s release date.

Apple Arcade is expanding its library of games today with 20 new titles, available now for subscribers. The list includes some brand new titles from popular franchises like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as a selection of "App Store Greats."

Apple's mobile game subscription service has been steadily running since its 2019 launch. In addition to adding new games monthly, Apple has revitalized the service with larger surprises of this scale. In 2021, the service added over 30 games and changed its model to bundle older mobile games into the platform. Today's update isn't quite that big, but it's one of the service's most substantial updates yet.

Apple Arcade is getting Shovel Knight Dig and a Tom Hanks trivia game

Apple has announced that Yacht Club Games' Shovel Knight Dig is coming to Apple Arcade next month. The service is getting another curious title in September too: a trivia game made by Tom Hanks.

Shovel Knight Dig is a puzzle game in the same vein as last year's excellent Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, and is the first in the 2D side-scrolling rogue-lite series to have high color pixels and sound. In the game, the titular knight goes after Drill Knight and his digging crew after they blow up his peaceful campsite and steal his loot. Shovel Knight has to dig his way underground with his Shovel Blade -- hence, the title -- in order to get his loot back and stop Drill Knight and his henchmen while preventing the land above from collapsing underfoot.

Where does Dragon Age go after The Veilguard? We have some theories
A dragon in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Now just over two months after its release, the mood surrounding Dragon Age: The Veilguard has quieted down. Away from the overwhelming vitriol of certain corners of the internet and with the benefit of time, the general consensus seems to be that it's a safe and solid Dragon Age game, albeit a somewhat underwhelming sequel to 2014's Inquisition. Sure, the story is half-baked, and the companions are a far cry from the Morrigans and Iron Bulls of the past, but Veilguard still delivers on almost every front. It might not be the game we hoped for, but it's what we got, and it's more than worthy enough of a playthrough or two.

The Veilguard closes a chapter on the story that began with Dragon Age: Origins back in 2009. With the Evanuris dealt with, Solas either punished or redeemed, and a new sunrise dawning over Thedas, the adventure is a period to a long sentence that spanned three games, several DLCs, and a few novels. Those finishing The Veilguard might now wonder: Where does the franchise go from here?
