iCloud+ now includes Apple TV and Arcade in 100+ countries — not the U.S.
Every paid iCloud+ tier in more than 100 countries now includes Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no extra cost — a services pivot that sidelines Apple One in those markets and expands Apple TV to 170 countries.
Apple is turning paid iCloud+ into a much broader services bundle in more than 100 countries.
Per Apple’s regional iCloud+ pages and reporting from MacRumors and 9to5Mac, every paid iCloud+ plan — including the cheapest 50GB tier — now includes Apple TV and Apple Arcade “at no additional cost.” Family Sharing extends storage, TV, and Arcade to up to five other people.

Arcade saves and progress preserved
Apple One is effectively wound down for new customers in these markets (existing One subscribers can keep their plans), according to MacRumors — a clearer push toward iCloud+ as the growth vehicle in price-sensitive territories.
Some markets also get Apple Music Select (ad-free curated stations) as an upsell path to discounted full Apple Music.
Apple TV expands to 59 new countries, for a total of 170.
Eddy Cue, Apple’s SVP of Services and Health, said the company is “excited to bring Apple TV and Apple Arcade to iCloud+ users in over 100 countries in one convenient subscription.”
Where it is (and isn’t)
Apple’s own country list includes markets such as India, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, UAE, Israel, Ukraine, and dozens across Africa, the Caribbean, and Central Asia. It does not include the United States, Canada, Australia, the UK, or most of Europe.
In the U.S. and similar markets, Apple TV and Arcade remain separate paid services (or part of Apple One) — so this is a regional strategy story, not a global price cut.
Why it matters
For readers tracking Apple’s services push after Apple TV’s Emmy haul: bundling TV and Arcade into the entry iCloud+ tier is a blunt instrument for penetration where Apple One never took off. It also reframes iCloud+ itself — already the home for Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video / Home AI camera pricing — as the default services shell in those countries.
How to check: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → iCloud+. If TV and Arcade are included in your country, they appear in the plan details.
