How do I share my Apple Arcade subscription?

Apple Arcade can be shared via invitation, thanks to Apple Family Sharing: each co-subscriber uses their own Apple account and gains access to Apple Arcade once added to the family group. No sharing of login details is necessary.

⚠️ Important: Before adding co-subscribers, make sure that "Purchase Sharing" is disabled if you do not want to share your App Store purchases (otherwise, some purchases may be billed to the owner).

⚠️ Very important: you can only be a member of one family at a time, and above all, you can only change family groups once a year.

Apple Arcade is Apple's subscription gaming service: a catalog of games with no ads or in-app purchases, playable on compatible Apple devices.

🔗 Sharing method: invitation via Apple Family Sharing
👥 Number of users: up to 6 people (the owner + 5 members)
📅 Shareable plans: Apple Arcade (or Apple One including Apple Arcade) via Family Sharing
💸 Cost: divided equally via Spliiit

Owner: how to offer Apple Arcade sharing on Spliiit

To share Apple Arcade, you must first offer the subscription on Spliiit, then invite your co-subscribers to your Apple Family Sharing group.

Step 1 — Set up Family Sharing on Apple

On iPhone/iPad: Settings → your name → Family (or "Family Sharing").
On Mac:  → System Settings → your name → Family.
Set up Family Sharing if you haven't already, then click Add Member / Invite.
In the Family settings, verify that:
- Apple Arcade is included in subscriptions (if the option is displayed).
- ⚠️ Purchase sharing is disabled if you do not want to share your App Store purchases.

Step 2 — Post the offer on Spliiit

On Spliiit, go to "Propose."
Choose Apple Arcade
Indicate the number of available seats (you can reserve seats for yourself).
Publish as public sharing to receive requests

ℹ️ You can also share privately 🔐 : invite only your friends and family.

Step 3 — Invite the co-subscriber found on Spliiit

Once you have found a co-subscriber, retrieve their Apple account email address (Apple ID).
Add them to your Family (invitation by email).
Once the invitation has been accepted, the co-subscriber will have access to Apple Arcade on their device.
