Apple Arcade’s lineup of hit puzzle games gets even bigger with the addition of Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+

Whether gamers are looking for high-octane action or a laid-back afternoon, Apple Arcade has a little bit of everything for every player, and its puzzle catalog is getting a big upgrade. On September 3, two standout new titles join the mix: Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+. Block Blast!+ brings one of the most popular daily puzzle games to Arcade, while the 2025 App Store Award winner for Cultural Impact — Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ — combines soothing jigsaw-style gameplay with rich storytelling about the natural world.

There’s a reason Block Blast!+ has topped charts around the world: It’s simple to pick up and nearly impossible to put down. The game challenges players to slot blocks onto a grid to clear rows and columns, and chase that perfect combo. On Arcade, players can now enjoy the same blockbusting gameplay completely uninterrupted by ads.

With its calming, meditative gameplay and thoughtfully designed accessibility features, Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ invites players to piece together stunning nature-inspired artwork at their own pace, unlocking stories about wildlife and conservation along the way. Accessibility features make it as welcoming as it is beautiful, proof that a puzzle game can deliver both a fun challenge and a moment of calm.

Block Blast!+ and Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ join an impressive lineup of puzzlers already keeping Arcade players endlessly entertained, including Grindstone, Flow Free+, Crossword Jam+, and recent arrivals Everyday Puzzles: Mini Games+ and Water Sort Puzzle: Get Color+. Puzzle fans looking for their next obsession can find even more great picks curated on the Arcade tab.

Later this month, updates are coming to other popular games beloved by players. On August 12, puffies. adds 28 new packs that include two collections with artwork for Oden Tomodachi and The Knights. Starting on August 20, Simon’s Cat - Blast Time unleashes 200 new levels, rolling out 50 a week for a month of fresh challenges. And on August 26, stitch. celebrates a huge milestone — 800 unique hoops — with a special commemorative hoop and achievement.

This fall is shaping up to be exciting across the board for Arcade. On September 3, additional games joining the fun include NFL Retro Bowl ’27, which kicks off an epic new season with the high-stakes addition of Gauntlet Mode; Coloring Games for Families+, a magical world of creativity for players of all ages with over 3,000 engaging activities; and Let’s Play! Oink Games+, a digital collection of nine tabletop games — from cooperative missions to bluffing cards — playable solo, with friends, or online.
