Set up parental controls so your kids only see appropriate content from Apple Arcade.
Apple Arcade is Apple's new subscription service that allows you to download games from a catalog of over 100 titles. You can download and play as many as your device can hold for a single monthly subscription of $4.99.
That subscription fee is the same whether you've just got your own Apple ID, or you have Family Sharing set up with your partner and children. And because everyone on your Family Sharing setup can use Apple Arcade, setting content restrictions is probably a good idea, particularly if you have younger children.
If you've used Screen Time content restrictions before, this will be very familiar. If you haven't, then luckily it's a fairly simple process.
