In addition to subscription services for streaming movies and series such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Globoplay, among others, the world of games is also ing this wave. Following this trend, we have the Apple Arcade for iOS devices and the Google Play for Android devices, both with libraries full of excellent titles. t5k2b
And there is also the platform Gameclub, a platform that has a catalog with more than 100 titles, which launches its version for Android, ing the version that existed since 2019 for the iPhone (iOS), with some of the biggest hits in smartphone games, but which are forgotten by gamers.

Launching in 2019, the $5-per-month subscription service from Gameclub was only available on iOS, offering access to over 100 titles that have recorded 100 million s to date. Today, the service is also available to s of the Android with a catalog that has grown to over 120 classic titles, costing just R$9,90 per month (and featuring a 30-day free trial period).
The service goes against the general free-to-play model of games for mobile platforms. In these games, much of the financial income is generated through ments or in-game item purchases. Once the games present in the library of Gameclub do not fit this model, a subscription platform where s had access to various titles by paying a monthly fee was a very viable and profitable option.
According to the co-founder and CEO of Gameclub, Dan Sherman, during service launch:
“The free-to-play model only works for a few genres, to the exclusion of many genres that GameClub is trying to bring back – like action, adventure, arcade, tower defense and more. Basically, GameClub offers games that can be completed, rather than games that are shaped around retention cycles through purchases.”
As with Apple Arcade and Google Play , s of Gameclub pay a subscription fee to access the full library. With one subscription, up to 12 people can play the games on Gameclub on iOS and Android. Best of all, the games will be shown both online and offline and will not include purchases or ads.
No iOS, the catalog grew to 87 games in total. Now at launch for Android, there are 40 games, but the company is releasing more titles to balance the platform across both operating systems, so a new game is added every week.

The organization of the library Gameclub it's up to Eli Hodapp, former editor-in-chief of mobile gaming website Touch Arcade. Its main titles include Breach & Clear, Paint it Back, Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon, Legendary Wars, Monster Wars, Flick Fishing, Pocket RPG, Cursed Treasure 2 among other diverse games of the most varied genres and styles.
One of the great differentials of Gameclub is that the titles present in its catalog are not only distributed by their creators and made available on the service. Instead, the team of developers at Gameclub it also updates the apps' original code to make games look new—for example, optimizing them for the latest screen sizes and resolutions.
Although the Apple ban iOS apps that sell other apps, the Gameclub can operate on iOS because the service is not an app store. Instead, iOS s need to individual GameClub games directly from the App Store. However, getting Apple's approval was not an easy task. GameClub was rejected 127 times before launch and the developer was placed under investigation for a month!
Fortunately, after these problems with Apple are over, the good news is that with the expansion of the service on Android systems, the Gameclub now features over a dozen bestselling games not yet offered on its platform, and several are coming to Android for the first time, such as Flick Fishing, Puzzlejuice, Swap This!, Zombie Match Defense, ORC: Vengeance, Hackycat, Raid Leader, Wizard Golf RPG, Cubed Rally Racer, Return of the Zombie King e Potatoman seeks the troof.
