New Apple Vision Pro spatial game Castle Crumble launches August 29
Three exciting new games land on Apple Arcade next month — Temple Run: Legends, Vampire Survivors+, and Apple Vision Pro spatial title Castle Crumble.
On August 1, players are invited back to Aperion in the new Temple Run: Legends, the first level-based runner in the hit franchise, available exclusively on Apple Arcade. The BAFTA award-winning Vampire Survivors+ also joins the service, featuring up to four-player gameplay on the same device.
And on August 29, players with Apple Vision Pro can tear down fantastical castles with every swish and flick of their fingers, and in any physical space they desire, in the spatial version of the highly rated physics-based puzzle game Castle Crumble. The game joins an expanding catalog of fun spatial titles that unlock new gameplay by blending digital content with the physical world, delivering an immersive experience that’s only possible on Vision Pro.
On Apple Arcade, players can explore more than 200 titles that are playable across Apple devices, with no ads or in-app purchases. New games and content updates to existing hits are added monthly. Players can also share these great games with their loved ones with an Apple Arcade subscription, giving a family of up to six unlimited access to all the titles in its catalog.
Temple Run: Legends by Imangi Studios
Run, swim, jump, and join a legion of heroes in Temple Run: Legends. In addition to the classic infinite run mode, players can explore ancient Aperion with fresh gameplay modes, dynamic challenges and rewards, and over 500 levels in story mode. Players should prepare to traverse exciting climates, interact with fascinating inhabitants and creatures, and encounter a unique, all-new cast of characters as they conquer their next adventure.
Vampire Survivors+ by Poncle
As players fight for their lives in the toxic, devil-ridden environment of Vampire Survivors+, a whole new world of horror is unleashed. From dusk to dawn, night creatures will cross their paths, forcing them to rely on the goodwill of their fellow survivors in order to prevail. While garlic, a cross, and a magic wand are useful tools to defeat their enemies, the responsibility ultimately lies in their capable hands as they test their strength against these deadly creatures from their touchscreens. This multistage game has a wide array of settings, including a multiplayer mode where up to four players can slay the undead on the same device by connecting game controllers to play together.
Castle Crumble by Orbital Knight
Players will embark on an adventure across a variety of kingdoms and unique biomes to take down the enemy’s castles in this physics-based puzzle game. Unique controls allow players to use their hands to precision target the castles’ weak points using powerful explosives, mystical spells, and mysterious unlockable boosts, and watch the castles blast apart across their living rooms.
Throughout July, players can also look forward to fun new updates to hit games playable across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, including Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s one-year anniversary event, Friendship Festival; a new character and game mode in Sonic Racing; and exciting new content for Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom, WHAT THE CAR?, SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit, Snake.io, and so much more.
Sonic Racing by SEGA: On July 18, players can unlock a new character, Rockstar Rouge, after beating the base time in time trial mode. This update also adds new kart power levels, allowing for players to access more powerful karts as they progress through the game.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure by Sunblink and Sanrio: Beginning July 25, the Friendship Festival celebrates International Day of Friendship and the one-year anniversary of Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s launch on Apple Arcade. This festival is full of new Sanrio-themed fashions, new group animations, and many pictures for the memories. This update includes an epic music collaboration and the climactic conclusion to the Friendship Island story arc.

Apple reveals title, official poster for ‘F1,’ starring Brad Pitt, coming to cinemas summer 2025
Fasten your seatbelts! Brad Pitt’s high-octane racing film finally has a title and a poster: “F1.”
Apple officially unveiled the title on Friday, along with a first look poster. Pitt takes the wheel as Sonny Hayes, a veteran driver lured back to Formula 1. He’ll be joined by rising star Damson Idris as his teammate, Joshua Pearce, on the fictional APXGP team.
The star-studded cast includes Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and more. Joseph Kosinski, fresh off the success of “Top Gun: Maverick,” directs and produces alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Lewis Hamilton.
F1 is a high-stakes production for Apple Original Films, reportedly costing over $300 million due to practical effects and a Hollywood strike. The film captures the real world of Formula 1 through filming at actual races and collaboration with teams and drivers.
Hitting theaters and IMAX on June 27, 2025, F1 promises a thrilling ride for racing fans and moviegoers alike. The film will later stream on Apple TV+.
Apple TV+ renews ‘The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin’
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="660"]
Comedy-adventure series from Apple TV+, “The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin,” has been renewed for a second season.[/caption]
Last week, Apple TV+ announced a second season renewal for comedy-adventure series “The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin” starring Noel Fielding (“The Mighty Boosh,” “The Great British Bake Off”) as Dick Turpin.
Since its global debut, “The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin” has been hailed as “extraordinarily funny,” quickly achieving a Certified Fresh critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The “delightful” series features a “spectacular” Noel Fielding who lends “his dry comedic timing to craft an absurdist persona who is both endearing and charismatic,” alongside a cast of “comedy greats.” Season two promises another round of fantastical adventures for Turpin, with a host of great British comedy talent set to star. The complete first season is now streaming globally on Apple TV+.
In “The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin,” Turpin sets out on a journey of wildly absurd escapades when he’s made the reluctant leader of a band of outlaws. In this irreverent retelling set in the 18th century, Turpin is the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair. Together with his gang of lovable rogues, Turpin rides the highs and lows of his new endeavors, including a brush with celebrity.
“The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin” is produced for AppleTV+ by Big Talk Studios, part of ITV Studios, and written by Richard Naylor and Jon Brittain with Noel Fielding.
The series is executive produced by Kenton Allen, Big Talk Studios (multi-BAFTA Award-winning producer of “Rev.,” “The Outlaws,” and “Friday Night Dinner”), Noel Fielding, Victoria Grew, Big Talk Studios (“Back,” “We Are Not Alone”), Anthony Wilcox (“This England”) and Ben Palmer (BAFTA TV Award and Rose d’Or Award-winning “The Inbetweeners” and “The Inbetweeners Movie”), with Naylor and Brittain as co-executive producers. The series will be directed by Ben Palmer.
Apple TV+ offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all of a user’s favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV+ became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut. To date, Apple Original films, documentaries and series have earned 498 wins and 2,187 award nominations and counting, including multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy “Ted Lasso” and historic Oscar Best Picture winner “CODA.”
