Apple has announced an expansion of its iCloud Plus service in Mauritius, offering subscribers access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no additional cost. The move is part of a global rollout to over 100 countries and regions, as announced by Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Services and Health. This development brings entertainment and gaming services to Mauritian users under their existing iCloud Plus subscription.
iCloud Plus plans in Mauritius start at $1.19 per month for the 50GB storage tier, with additional storage options available. Under the new structure, standalone individual subscriptions for Apple TV and Apple Arcade will no longer be available directly through Apple in the country. Current individual subscribers will see their services rolled into their iCloud Plus account, with uninterrupted access and preserved game progress.
The updated subscription bundles cloud storage, backup, and sharing features with entertainment and gaming services. Apple TV offers award-winning drama and comedy series, feature films, documentaries, and family content, including titles like "The Studio," "Ted Lasso," and "CODA." The service is available across over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, Mac, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and via tv.apple.com.
Apple Arcade provides users with unlimited access to a curated catalog of over 200 games, featuring no ads, no in-app purchases, and offline play. The lineup includes popular franchises like "Football Manager 26 Touch," "NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition," and "Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition," as well as originals like "Hello Kitty Island Adventure" and "Sneaky Sasquatch." Games can be played on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV 4K.
In addition to video and gaming, Mauritian iCloud Plus users receive access to Apple Music Select, a collection of ad-free stations programmed by Apple Music. Subscribers can enjoy regionally relevant music, Top Songs, 80s, and 90s tracks in the Home tab of the Apple Music app. Those wishing to upgrade to a full on-demand Apple Music experience can do so at a discounted monthly price.
Family Sharing allows subscribers to share their iCloud Plus subscription with up to five family members. Additional premium benefits included with iCloud Plus are extra storage, event creation in the Apple Invites app, and enhanced privacy features. Users can check their status or update their plan via the Settings app on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Vision Pro.
Apple One will no longer be available for new subscribers in Mauritius, though current subscribers will keep access. Users can find full availability and pricing details at apple.co/icloud-plus-tv-arcade. The expansion of iCloud Plus in Mauritius reflects Apple's efforts to enhance its services and provide users with a more comprehensive entertainment and gaming experience.
