Apple had earlier announced its game-subscription service, Apple Arcade, at its annual Cupertino Special Event recently. The company confirmed that the service will go live for users starting 19 September but it's giving iOS 13 beta testers an early release.
According to a tweet by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple Arcade was apparently available three days early. Though the company did not give any confirmation as to this early release for beta testers was intentional or not. Apple also shared a press release explaining more about the game subscription service. However, this press release also does not give any hint whether the service is already available for beta users.
It was previously announced that Apple Arcade will be available on App store starting 19 September.
