Antstream Arcade, a retro gaming subscription service, is set to launch on iPhones and iPads next week. This marks the first dedicated app for a game streaming service on the App Store following Apple's recent policy changes.
The announcement comes after Apple loosened its policies to make it easier for game streaming apps, including retro gaming services like Antstream, to be added to the App Store. Previously available on platforms such as Android, Windows PCs, and Xbox, Antstream will now offer its extensive library of over 1,300 classic games directly on Apple devices.
Some of the titles that users can expect include Pong, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Hogs of War and Metal Slug 2. The service also hosts weekly tournaments and has global leaderboards for in-game challenges.
Antstream typically costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 annually but will offer a promotional discount at launch: $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year before reverting to its usual pricing.
For those who prefer retro gaming on their iPhones and iPads, Antstream Arcade provides an alternative to downloading emulators and dealing with ROMs.
Antstream will be the first official game streaming app on the iPhone.
Apple opened the App Store to game-streaming apps due to developer feedback and European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).
Antstream typically costs $5 monthly or $40 annually, but will launch with an introductory offer of $4 per month or $30 for a year.

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states 'You can likely thank the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) for Apple's decision.' This statement implies that the DMA is directly responsible for Apple's decision, but it does not provide any evidence to support this claim. The author is making an assumption based on a correlation between the DMA and Apple's policy change.
