These changes were initially intended for the EU, but they have turned out to be beneficial for gamers worldwide and allows platforms to reach a larger audience.

Antstream Arcade is offering a special subscription rate to celebrate its debut in the App Store. For a limited time, subscription will be discounted at $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year, which is a cheaper than the standard $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year.

Aside from streaming convenience, Antstream Arcade offers the security of legally licenced games, as opposed to emulators, which frequently involve complex ROM legality issues. This makes Antstream an excellent, user-friendly choice that will undoubtedly appeal to retro gaming enthusiasts.
