NBA 2K27 and Football Manager 27 Join Apple Arcade in November
Apple Arcade’s sports lineup keeps growing. Apple has announced that NBA 2K27 and Football Manager 27 will both join the subscription service in November, adding the world’s biggest basketball game and its most respected football management series to a catalogue that has quietly become a strong home for sports fans.
NBA 2K27’s Arcade edition brings the full 2K basketball experience to iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, and this year’s edition includes WNBA teams, continuing the push to put the women’s game front and center in the series. The timing could hardly be better for 2K: NBA 2K27 launched in September and has already become the best-selling game of 2026 in the United States, according to Circana sales data.
Football Manager 27’s arrival follows the pattern set last year, when Football Manager 26 Touch launched on Apple Arcade on November 4, 2025. The Touch edition streamlines Sports Interactive’s famously deep management simulation for quicker sessions while keeping the transfer market, tactics and career progression that have made the series a fixture for football fans worldwide.
The two newcomers join a sports section that has filled out considerably this year. Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition arrived in August, and the service also carries NFL Retro Bowl ’27, the officially licensed pixel-art football game, PGA TOUR Pro Golf for golf fans, and Retro Bowl College+, the college football spin-off of the Retro Bowl series.
Apple Arcade is priced at $8.99 per month in Canada and can be shared with up to five family members, and it is bundled into every Apple One plan. For sports gamers, the pitch is simple: a rotating library of premium annual sports titles with no additional purchases, playable across Apple devices.

One of the most beloved freeware games of the 2000s is climbing back. The original developers of Icy Tower have announced a complete remake of the vertical climbing game, launching on PC and Mac via Steam on November 10, 2026.
The original Icy Tower became a quiet phenomenon in the early days of downloadable PC games, spreading from computer to computer and school lab to school lab until it had reached 40 million players. Its formula was simple to learn and hard to put down: a lone climber leaps from floor to floor up an endless tower that scrolls faster and faster, with longer leaps and wall-to-wall combo jumps earning bigger scores, and one missed landing ending the run. That one-more-try loop made it one of the defining shareware-era time killers, years before mobile endless games turned the same hook into an industry.
The remake rebuilds the game from the ground up under the same name, with the team behind the original returning to make it. Rather than a simple re-release of the old code, the new Icy Tower is a complete remake for modern systems, arriving through Steam on both PC and Mac.
The remake joins a wave of affectionate returns for the games that defined PC shareware culture, as the players who grew up on them become the audience, and in many cases the developers, of today’s indie scene. For longtime fans, November 10 is a date with a very tall tower. For everyone else, it is a chance to find out why 40 million players could not stop climbing.
