Apple Arcade Adds NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition
Apple Arcade adds Crossy Road Rush, NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition, Kami 2+, and Food Stylist - Design Game+ to its catalog.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Basketball
Apple added four new games to Apple Arcade, including NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition, which adds the WNBA for the first time. The subscription is priced at $6.99 per month and can be shared with up to six family members.
Why it matters
The additions expand the games available to subscribers at a single monthly price with no ads or in-app purchases. Including the WNBA in an NBA game gives players a new league to explore within the title.
NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition includes all 15 WNBA teams and 180 active players, though WNBA players are limited to Quick Match and Blacktop modes. The Apple Arcade subscription costs $6.99 per month and can be shared with up to six family members, and the extraction does not indicate whether the WNBA limitation will change in future updates.

Season Trajectory
The addition of the WNBA to NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition extends the franchise's basketball coverage beyond the NBA alone, continuing Apple Arcade's approach of bundling major sports titles into its subscription. The move positions the service alongside other subscription-based sports games, though the extraction does not indicate how it compares to competing platforms.
Subscribers can play the WNBA in NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition only through Quick Match and Blacktop modes, which limits how they engage with the league in the game. Because one Apple Arcade subscription can be shared across up to six family members, the cost of access is spread across the household at $6.99 per month.
The takeaway
The bundle of four new titles under one monthly subscription with no ads or in-app purchases gives subscribers a predictable way to add games without per-title costs. Readers who share the subscription should check which modes each game supports, since the WNBA content in NBA 2K27 is limited to two modes.
