Hello everyone, and welcome to the week! It’s time again for our weekly roundup of noteworthy game updates. This week's list features several big names, heavily weighted toward free-to-play titles, but with a nice mix of Apple Arcade games as well. You can always keep an eye out for updates yourself via the TouchArcade forums, but this summary highlights what you might have missed. Let's dive in!

Subway Surfers, Free: Sydney's taking center stage in this week's Subway Surfers update! A veggie revolution is afoot (not Vegemite, thankfully). Collect veggie tokens, build a bean burger, and unlock Billy Bean. Expect a bounty of green-themed characters, boards, and bundles. Save the planet, folks – it's the only one we've got!

Tiny Tower: Tap Idle Evolution, Free: The Olympics event is over, making way for a summer event! Serve VIPs, roll the dice to earn event points, and unlock rewards at certain thresholds. Each week brings new challenges, with final rewards based on your overall progress. Different VIPs offer varying point values (pay-to-win is definitely a factor here), but there's still plenty of free stuff to earn.

MARVEL Puzzle Quest: Hero RPG, Free: Marvel Puzzle Quest quietly chugs along, and this week's update is mostly housekeeping. Following the Deadpool and Wolverine event, there's a rebalance for Old Man Logan, including a new costume. The latest PVP Season of Mind has concluded; watch for the next one soon.

ANOTHER EDEN, Free: The King of Fighters crossover event! This RPG continues its streak of unusual collaborations. This update also adds Shanie, the Thornbound Witch, as a new Parallel Time Layer Ally. Mai, Terry, Kyo, and Kula are all present, earning this update our UMMSotW award (Mai is awesome!).

Temple Run: Legends, Free: The recently launched stage-based Temple Run gets a nice update. The new Outfit System lets you unlock and equip outfits to change character appearances and grant various advantages during runs. Stylish and strategic!

TMNT Splintered Fate, Free: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back! This update brings improvements from other platforms to the mobile version, including couch co-op, cross-platform online multiplayer, improved controller interfaces, and upgraded graphics and audio.

Disney Dreamlight Valley, Free: The Princess and the Frog takes the spotlight! Tiana arrives to open a restaurant and stall, joined by Remy. Enjoy a New Orleans-style parade and celebrate this often-overlooked Disney classic.

Outlanders, Free: Volume VI of the Outlanders Chronicles is here, introducing six new playable leaders and a storyline centered around a community's rise and fall, tied to a missing comet. Intriguing!

SimCity BuildIt, Free: Another Sydney-themed update, this one with a green focus. Add eco-friendly buildings like the Beam Wireless, Green Exchange, and Flower Bud. Limited-time structures include the Sydney Zoo and Paper Bag. Participate in the Mayor's Pass Season for extra rewards.

Merge Mansion, Free: This week's free-to-play matching puzzle game update introduces a new Speakeasy area, improvements to the Landing Room and Lounge, a new Mystery Pass with a pet, balance adjustments, and several upcoming events. Bug fixes are also included.

That's it for this week's significant updates! Let us know in the comments if you think anything noteworthy was missed. Major updates will likely get their own news stories throughout the week, and I'll be back next Monday with another summary. Have a great week!
