Decided to use my 3-month Apple Arcade free trial on my iPad and I've noticed that there is no way to see my list of previously downloaded games! The closest I got to that was to go into App Store > My Name > Purchase History, and even then, only 9/12 titles showed up. Am I missing something?

Apple Arcade games don’t show in the purchase history. None of mine do. Guessing probably because they’re part of the subscription and we’re not really purchasing them.

Are you sure the 9 that show up for you are actually the Apple Arcade version of the game? For example, there’s ‘Tiny Wings’ - the paid version of the game; and there’s ‘Tiny Wings+’ - the Apple Arcade version of the game. Similar thing for ‘Monument Valley’, ‘Cut the Rope’, and many other older games that were around before Apple Arcade.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I'm sure it's the Apple Arcade version of the game. Hidden Folks+ is there for e.g. which is definitely an Apple Arcade game. Very strange.

Ugh.. I'm about to redeem my 3 months as well. It would've been nice to have such a list. On a related note, there was no way to find out how long I have to redeem my 3 months of Apple TV+ (as opposed to Apple Arcade which tells you in the OS Settings app). I had to chat with an Apple rep for this (they did get to the bottom of that in a timely matter, so my kudos to them for that)
