FFIV 3D Remake, After Years, and Final Fantasy Join Apple Arcade

Apple and Square Enix announced that multiple Final Fantasy games will be joining Apple Arcade over the next two months, with the FFIV 3D remake that first appeared on the 3DS, FFIV: The After Years, and Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster all confirmed. There’s one other RPG from the company also showing up alongside them. Trials of Mana will appear there as well.

All of these are considered “+” versions of the titles. This is a label applied to full games that may have already been available on the App Store, but with a paid version, before. It signifies that they are now Apple Arcade free versions with everything included.

Here’s the full list of when the FFIV entries, Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, and Trials of Mana game will launch on the service. The App Store product pages are already live for each one, so you can see space requirements, screenshots, and descriptions for each title.

• Final Fantasy IV (3D Remake)+ – December 9, 2024.
• FFIV: The After Years+ – December 9, 2024.
• Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster+ – January 9, 2024. 
• Trials of Mana+ – January 9, 2024.

Square Enix supported and released games on Apple Arcade basically since the subscription service started. One of the first contributions to the catalog was Various Daylife, which later went on to become a multiplatform game. This is the first time Final Fantasy and Mana games appeared on Apple Arcade, however.

The next round of Square Enix Apple Arcade additions will kick off with FFIV (3D Remake) and its sequel FFIV: The After Years on December 9, 2024. Apple Arcade is available for Macs and Apple iOS devices.
