You can pick games from the Arcade tab in the app. The content is categorized. There are charts for new games and top arcade games. App Store Greats, which lists games that are available in the App Store but usually have a price tag, ads, or in-app purchases, is one of the newest additions.

Anyone with an Apple device can try out Apple Arcade for a month. You can usually get a three-month free trial of Apple Arcade if you buy an Apple device. You lose access to your trial immediately if you cancel it. Unless you cancel, you will be charged $5 a month at the end of the trial.
