How to get Apple Arcade for free right now and how to cancel the free trial
Surprise, surprise! It seems that Apple Arcade is already available to iOS 13 beta testers a whole three days earlier than initially expected. Apple’s premium gaming service was set to launch on September 19, but if you’ve been using the iOS 13 beta, you might have already noticed that you can sign up for Apple Arcade.
So, how to sign up for Apple Arcade right now?
#1. Make sure you have iOS 13
To put it bluntly, you need iOS 13 to partake in Apple Arcade right now. iOS 12 – no Apple Arcade, iOS 13 – Apple Arcade!
It doesn’t really matter if you use the public or the developer beta of iOS 13 – both will do just fine. Enrolling in the public beta is easier and more advisable since it’s generally a bit more stable and should technically feature less bugs than the developer channel.

#2. How to sign up for Apple Arcade
If you’re already running iOS 13, then you’re good to go!
Open your App Store and see if you have the new fifth tab at the bottom bar. It should look like this:
If your Apple Store bottom bar looks like that, congratulations, you’re just a step away from playing exclusive new games. Simply go into the tab and you should see the big Try if Free button in the middle.
Tapping that button will take you to one final explanation screen. If you insist on trying Apple Arcade for free, you will be brought to a final confirmation dialog that informs you on the details of your free trial and the monthly price tag after that.
#3. How to cancel the Apple Arcade free trial
Okay, in case you’re not loving Apple Arcade, you can easily end your free trial. To do so, go to the Apple Arcade tab in the App Store, then head to your profile, go into subscriptions, and cancel the free trial.
