Following the recent launch of the Apple Arcade exclusive NFL Retro Bowl ’26, the service adds another highly anticipated game for sports fans to enjoy this October: NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition. Packed with fun new features and in-game graphics that look phenomenal across all Apple devices, this special edition of the fan-favorite series brings Arcade players right into the middle of the NBA action to build a championship team or compete in online games with their friends and family. “Working on NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition has been an absolute blast, and we’re thrilled to unveil our latest feature, NBA Eras,” said Rebecca Chan, Visual Concepts’ general manager, in a statement. “Starting with the legendary Larry Bird vs. Magic Johnson era, players can relive decades of drafts, championships, and create some epic highlight tapes with the GOATs.” Dominate every era in an exciting new addition to the global hit franchise. In NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition, NBA fans can build their own teams and relive the greatest eras in the league’s history with the new NBA Eras in The Association mode. Additional features include multiplayer games in MyCAREER mode and updated authentic rosters reflecting the latest moves. “In MyCAREER, we’ve even made it easier for you to make your MyPLAYER just like the pros, using the player templates to craft builds just like Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, or your new cover athlete, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander,” added Chan. “It’s an honor to pay tribute to the legends who shaped this sport, and we can’t wait for our players to experience the new Arcade Edition.” Each NBA Era takes players on a 10-year journey through iconic NBA moments. On October 2nd, three great games from the App Store come to Arcade with no ads or in-app purchases, including Thomas & Friends: Let’s Roll+ by StoryToys, Dominoes: Classic Tile Game+ by MobilityWare, and Piffle+ by Mighty Games and Hipster Whale. For fans of TMNT Splintered Fate, Metalhead — a new playable character — is busting out of the sewer in an exciting new update out on September 30. Metalhead and the Turtle family must stop chaos from consuming NYC as a rift is torn underneath it. This expansion is included for all Arcade subscribers at no additional cost. ‎ MacDailyNews Note: Apple Arcade is available for $6.99 (U.S.) per month.
