February brings BEAST: Bio Exo Arena Suit Team, a 3v3 online action game with animal heroes piloting powerful mechanized armor, to Apple Arcade.

Adults might prefer Words in Progress, a puzzle game, which is also newly available for iPhone, Mac and more.

Apple Arcade’s new launch schedule

New games used to premiere on Apple Arcade every Friday, but the service recently switched to a different schedule: additions now come at the beginning of each month.

January brought Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom, Cornsweeper and more. And February 1 brought a couple of fresh titles.

Battle away in BEAST: Bio Exo Arena Suit Team

Strap on a battle suit and start fighting. That’s what BEAST: Bio Exo Arena Suit Team delivers. It features animal heroes piloting powerful mechanized armor — the heroes are beasts and their powered suits are BEASTs. Or players can choose a PET for more agility.

The game is a 3v3 online shooter designed for all ages. Play solo or team up with family and friends — up to six people can join at once.

Players can choose from a roster of hero’s, including Clyde the crafty cat, Nyx the sharpshooting owl, Rusty the fierce warthog and GG Nova the eccentric unicorn.

BEAST: Bio Exo Arena Suit Team from Oh BiBi is now on Apple Arcade. There are versions for iPhone, Mac, iPad and Apple TV, with external controllers supported.

Words in Progress starts with seven letters — it’s up to players to combine these letters into words. When a letter gets used, the empty spot is filled with a new letter from the player’s pile. Complete challenges while preventing the letter pile from emptying.

The puzzle game is for one or two players, and there are versions for iPhone, Mac, iPad and Apple TV.

Words in Progress by Gamious B.V. is ready to download now from the Apple Arcade section of the App Store.
