An authentic and faithful version of Football Manager right here on our iPads. Football Manager 2022 Mobile is one of the most complete handheld games of any genre.

An exquisite roaming ski and snowboard game that lets you slice serenely across a beautiful range of peaks and slopes.

Balancing the attributes of arcade golf with more advanced mechanics and a nice competitive edge, Golf Impact is a well-balanced PvP package.

A brilliant golf game with retro accents that eschews tedious realism without sacrificing depth.

Playing a game of baseball with dice rolls may seem like the driest, boring game ever, but Bottom of the 9th is nothing like that thanks to a simplified set of rules and a charming presentation.

A relaxed skating simulator with a side perspective and tons of tricks and flips to perform with a simple swipe control system. This being an Apple Arcade game, it is as smooth as anything.

Retro Bowl is essentially New Star American Football, offering a familiar mix of light management and phase-based touch-based mini-games on match day.

Essentially Rocket League on your phone, Motorball shifts to a simple top-down perspective and narrows things down to condensed, more greedy 1v1 showdowns.
