Apple Arcade adds Gris+ alongside content updates for The Oregon Trail and more

Today, Apple Arcade is adding award-winning Gris+ to the service. In addition, a slew of content updates is hitting a wide array of Apple Arcade titles.

Devolver Digital’s hit game Gris+ is making its way to Apple Arcade. Starting today, subscribers to the service can take part in the title that Apple describes as “serene and evocative.” Gris first launched on Switch, macOS, and PC in 2018 before arriving on iOS the following year. Gris is an artistic puzzle game with platforming aspects. The game revolves around a young girl and the way she sees the world in front of her.

The game has been critically acclaimed for its art direction and minimalism. Gris features nearly no text and a simple control scheme. Thus, it’s perfect for many players around the world no matter their spoken language. As with other ‘App Store Greats,’ the game is now dubbed Gris+ on the platform.

Alongside Gris+, Apple Arcade is rolling out a list of content updates. Here is what you can expect across the many titles:

• The Oregon Trail: This latest update will continue to introduce players to intriguing and pivotal moments of history as they embark on new quests where they can encounter the ill-fated Donner Party or meet Mato Oyuhi and Thomas Fitzpatrick on their way to Horse Creek for the signing of an important treaty.
