Apple Arcade is set to expand its diverse gaming library with the addition of six new titles in April 2025, headlined by the exclusive releases of “Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE” and “Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve.”
“Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE” marks the first original entry in the beloved Katamari series in nearly eight years. Developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment, this quirky action game invites players to control the Prince of All Cosmos as he rolls up various objects on Earth to create stars, all to boost his father’s livestream audience. As players progress, in-game fan comments appear, and growing the audience unlocks new stages. The game maintains the franchise’s signature whimsical gameplay and eclectic soundtrack. Bandai Namco recommends using a controller for an optimal experience.
“Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve” is the latest installment in TAITO CORPORATION’s iconic series. This exclusive title offers a dynamic evolution from classic 2D gameplay to a modern 3D shooter, allowing players to switch between modes and adapt to enemy attack patterns. Throughout the game, players can unlock powerful ships, including guest fighters from classic TAITO shooters like Darius, Night Striker, and RayStorm.
In addition to these flagship titles, Apple Arcade will introduce:
- “puffies.” by Lykke Studios: A relaxing puzzle game that reimagines classic jigsaw puzzles with the nostalgic charm of puffy stickers. Players can solve hand-designed puzzles, unlock themed sticker packs, and build a unique puffy collection.

This edition includes three expansion packs—Wacky Worlds, Time Twister, and Toolkit—and is optimized for iPhone and iPad.
