Apple Arcade makes a splash this winter with exciting SpongeBob SquarePants crossover events and?updates

SpongeBob SquarePants makes a special appearance in crossover events in hit games on Apple Arcade.
This month, players can dive into special crossover events featuring SpongeBob SquarePants in Snake.io+ and Crossy Road Castle, available exclusively on Apple?Arcade. Characters and locations from the iconic series arrive in limited-time events in the two popular games on the service. Fans of the absorbent and yellow and porous pal can also check out a brand-new endless mode in SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit, where they’ll test their skills in increasingly difficult levels to top the leaderboard.
Apple Arcade brings together more than 200 games and offers exclusive events created in collaboration with some of the industry’s top developers. Iconic characters and fan-favourite games come to life in new ways on the service, bringing a whole new level of fun to players that’s free from ads and in-app purchases.
