I already own the game on Steam and on iOS, but this is an amazing one to have for Apple Arcade!

This next round of Apple Arcade games looks really great. Especially with Hello Kitty Island adventure.

[–] upsurge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Stardew Valley is a great game. Glad to see this arriving on Apple Arcade.

[–] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Heck yeah. Great game for that.

Nice!! I can finally check this out. Have heard nothing but good things! Need something chill to play.

[–] RoyalEngineering@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's very relaxing! Except the mines!

[–] generalpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There’s mines? Never heard of them before.

Will the game still be available as a separate purchase?

[–] tastypoobutt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a good question. I don't see it as necessary for it to be taken down—it still adds to the value proposition for Arcade even if it's available as a once-off purchase.

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah. Got it. I assumed Apple might want to have some sort of exclusivity for Arcade to draw in more subscribers.

[–] ainen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t think there have been many, if any, apps that have been added to Apple Arcade and removed from the App Store for purchase.

[–] toxic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can already buy the game in the AppStore.

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, we can. I already purchased it around two years ago.

My question was whether it will remain available for purchase after it arrives on Apple Arcade. The answers from others indicate that it will be available as a separate purchase as well.

[–] Marcy_Stella@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The Apple Arcade version is a seperate app meanwhile the paid version will remain available, it seems like the only difference is that diagnostics data isn’t collected in the Apple Arcade version
