Apple has expanded the standard iCloud+ subscription to include access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade in Saudi Arabia at no additional cost. The updated offering allows subscribers to store personal content across Apple devices while accessing streaming series, films, and mobile games under a single plan.
Entertainment and Gaming Included in iCloud+ Subscription
Subscribers gain full access to original programming from Apple TV, such as Severance, Ted Lasso, Pluribus, and award-winning films like CODA and F1. The streaming platform features weekly releases and remains accessible through the Apple TV app across smart TVs, gaming consoles, and mobile screens.
In addition, users in Saudi Arabia receive access to Apple Arcade, which features a catalog of over 200 games without ads or in-app purchases. The library includes titles such as Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Sneaky Sasquatch, and Football Manager 26 Touch, with cross-device support for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV 4K.
Additional Audio and Storage Features
The updated package adds Apple Music Select, offering curated ad-free audio stations in the Apple Music app. Subscribers also receive extended cloud storage, event creation in the Apple Invites app, and enhanced privacy controls. Furthermore, Family Sharing enables account holders to share the benefits with up to five additional family members.
“We are excited to bring Apple TV and Apple Arcade to iCloud+ users in over 100 countries in one convenient subscription.”
Eddy Cue, Apple Senior Vice President of Services and Health
Pricing and Availability Across the Region
The expanded plan is rolling out to more than 100 countries through late September, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and India. Subscriptions in the region start at SAR 3.99 per month for the 50GB tier, with higher storage capacities available.
Consequently, standalone subscriptions for Apple TV and Apple Arcade will no longer be sold directly by Apple in Saudi Arabia. Existing individual subscribers will automatically transition to an active iCloud+ subscription without losing their game progress or saved data.
Carrier Integration and Service Changes
Meanwhile, Mobily customers on eligible postpaid plans in Saudi Arabia can access the bundle directly through their telecommunications provider. Existing Mobily subscribers with Apple TV or iCloud add-ons will move automatically to the new structure. Finally, Apple One will no longer accept new subscribers in the Saudi market, while existing Apple One memberships will remain operational.
