Quebec’s Marc-Antoine Liboiron will race against Max Verstappen in F1 22, two new games coming to Apple Arcade.

Quebec virtual F1 racer off to race against Max Verstappen

Last month, I wrote about a virtual car race that Heineken was staging trackside at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve during the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada.

Quebec’s Marc-Antoine Liboiron beat four other Canadian gamers in the competition and will be racing against Max Verstappen, who races F1 cars IRL, in an upcoming virtual race later this year.

Congrats, Marc-Antoine!

New games coming to Apple Arcade

One for the adults, one for the kids. Kids go first.

Lego Duplo World is designed for two to five year olds, and presents a number of colourful scenes that they can interact with in the most intuitive way imaginable. In the same way that the Duplo blocks are intended for smaller hands that are learning coordination, so too is this experience created to stimulate developing senses.

Slay the Spire is an interesting blend of dungeon crawling adventure with card-based combat. It comes together in a style of animation that delivers on both experiences, with cards flying across the board as they are played and the consequences of those cards showing on the screen. Available on all other gaming platforms, Slay the Spire is now part of Apple Arcade.
