Apple is expanding its $6.99 per month Arcade subscription with a wave of new titles arriving next month, headlined by the debut of the cartoon cat's first game, *Pusheen’s Place*. According to reporting from The Verge, the game is scheduled to launch on October 1st.
*Pusheen’s Place* focuses on collection and customization, allowing players to care for over 100 variations of the character, including Pancake Pusheen and Pusheenicorn. The experience features room decoration and a series of minigames, such as the puzzle-based "Batch Match," the fruit-popping "Parfait Pop," and the cake-sorting "Snack Stack." The Verge notes that the game's developers intend to provide ongoing updates, adding new features, decor themes, games, and additional Pusheen variations over time.
The addition of this cozy, IP-driven title is part of a larger content push for the service. The Verge reports that other titles joining the subscription next month include the puzzle game *4 Pics 1 Word*, the physics-based *Touchgrind BMX 2*, the zombie-fighting *River City Survivors*, and the sandbox adventure *Terraria*.
