Apple bundles TV and Arcade into iCloud+ across 100 countries

Apple has expanded iCloud+ into a broader services bundle in over 100 countries, adding Apple TV, Apple Arcade, and curated Apple Music stations at no extra cost. Even the cheapest 50GB plan now includes TV and Arcade, with full family sharing for up to five people. In these markets, standalone Apple TV and Arcade subscriptions are being discontinued, and existing subscribers will be transitioned automatically to iCloud+. Apple One is effectively being phased out in these regions, with new sign-ups no longer available.
Apple is also introducing Apple Music Select, offering ad-free curated stations and discounted upgrades to full Apple Music. The expansion significantly boosts Apple TV’s global reach, adding 59 new countries and bringing the service to 170 markets.
Apple positions the move as a way to unify services and increase value for users in smaller markets.
