Apple Arcade has been available for a couple of months now, giving gamers ample time to decide if it's worth $5 a month. However, it's now possible to slice $10 off that price if you opt to subscribe for an entire year.
As MacRumors reports, Apple decided to quietly introduce a yearly subscription option for Arcade with the main incentive being a lower overall price for the extended term. Where as subscribing monthly for $5 leads to a $60 yearly outlay, signing up for a year in advance means you'll only pay $50. If you're already enjoying the games selection, switching to a yearly subscription may be a no-brainer.
The yearly offer will be presented once you are signed up for the standard $5 per month account. The image above shows what you see (on the left) before signing up, where as on the right is the yearly option once there's an active account. As Apple offers a one-month free trial, you'll be able to select the yearly option before the trial ends and the first $5 charge is taken from your account, if you so wish.
In return for your money, Apple Arcade offers ad-free access to games and no in-app purchases. You can also carry on gaming across all your devices as long as they are linked to the same iCloud account and up to six family members can share access. The big draw is, of course, access to over 100 new games.
If you're interested in the yearly account, it should be available in the US ($49.99), Canada ($59.99), UK (£49.99), and across Europe (49.99 euros).
