Apple Arcade is continuing to build upon its offerings of classic mobile games. Apple today announced that another popular classic is on its way to the platform. From the developers of Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride will have a “Plus” version released on Apple Arcade soon.

Jetpack Joyride was first released for iOS in 2011 and it quickly rose to the top of the charts. The infinite runner game entails players having to fly in a jetpack inside a laboratory while avoiding missiles and other hurdles. The game offers a ton of customization for players including different maps, a wide variety of jetpacks and other add ons.
