Pusheen the Cat has been everywhere from plush toys to stickers, but the internet-famous cat has somehow never had an official video game. That changes on October 1, when Pusheen’s Place arrives exclusively on Apple Arcade.

The game headlines Apple Arcade’s October update alongside River City Survivors, Terraria+, Touchgrind BMX 2+, and 4 Pics 1 Word+. As usual for Apple Arcade releases, the games will be available without ads or in-app purchases.

What exactly is Pusheen’s Place?

Pusheen’s Place is very much a cozy game. More than 100 cats can be collected, including familiar characters such as Pusheenicorn and Pancake Pusheen.

Players can also build and decorate rooms, craft items, and spend time with their collection. Smaller mini-games are scattered throughout the experience too, with Snack Stack, Parfait Pop, and Batch Match among the options.

Pusheen’s Place joins an already sizeable collection of cozy games on Apple Arcade, which includes Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom, and Cozy Caravan.

Terraria is also joining Apple Arcade

Terraria+ is probably the most recognizable returning game in the October lineup. Up to eight people can play together through Game Center or local Wi-Fi, and there are more than 20 biomes to explore. The Arcade release also includes the Bigger & Boulder 1.4.5 update, which features crossover content from Dead Cells and Palworld.

River City Survivors is the only other completely new game in the batch. The survivors-like action game throws players against waves of zombies and has more than 20 playable characters, including Kunio and Riki. Up to two companions can also be recruited for each run.

Touchgrind BMX 2+ and 4 Pics 1 Word+ round out the October additions. The former is a BMX stunt game built around two-finger controls, while the latter brings the long-running picture puzzle game to Arcade.

All five games arrive on October 1. Apple Arcade currently costs $6.99 per month in the U.S. and supports Family Sharing for up to six people.

AMD is bringing its FSR 4 upscaling technology to handheld gaming PCs by the end of 2026, potentially giving portable devices a welcome boost in gaming performance. The catch? It is still unclear whether existing devices such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally will get the upgrade or whether gamers will need to buy new hardware.

AMD consumer chip chief Jack Huynh confirmed the expansion in comments to South Korean publication The Elec. The company plans to bring its machine-learning-based FSR 4 technology to APUs, gaming laptops and handheld devices, expanding it beyond the desktop graphics cards it initially supported.

ARC Raiders just dropped its biggest update yet, and I’m having a blast
I waited six months for Arc Raider's Frozen Trails, and it's like I never left.
Arc Raiders Frozen Trial Frigate in the map

After watching all of those teasers and trailers, I avoided any of the early impressions of Arc Raiders' latest update from gaming channels on YouTube and dived right into the new map, Pendola Pass. Embark’s massive 2.0 update introduces a snowy Italian mountain settlement beyond the Rust Belt where one of the enormous Emperor ARC machines has somehow fallen.

After a few raids, I thought I had seen everything, from the new Arc enemies to the new map. But just before I was getting ready to drop into Pendola Pass for the fifth time, that's when I noticed the Frigate mentioned on Blue Gate. So obviously, I went to check it out. As I first laid eyes on this flying fortress, I knew we're so back.

Monster Hunter Rise could soon be making the jump to phones and tablets. Store pages for a new Monster Hunter Rise Netflix edition have appeared on Google Play and Apple’s App Store, pointing to an upcoming mobile release through Netflix Games.

Netflix will publish the mobile version, which will require an active membership despite being free to download. Neither store listing gives us a release date yet, but this appears to be the full game rather than a stripped-down mobile spin-off.
