Release notes for version: plexmediaserver_1.21.2.3939-3945797bd_amd64.deb Includes “Plex Arcade”. Is there any more information? EDIT: (H/T agnesnutter & Weirdomusic) Announcement below and info page here https://www.plex.tv/arcade/ [Plex Gaming]

The (Web) Updated to 4.81.1 is inaccurate as it should be (Web) Updated to 4.51.1. I guess someone rushed the update out :slight_smile:

Coming here to wonder the same thing… Interesting

Ah, here’s the page we’re looking for

So they want $3-$5 a month to play 30 year old games that have been emulated on practically every OS already? Yup, this seems like time well spent…

Could be a nice solution for TV and iOS users. Plus, if there’s a wide variety of games you want to play, you don’t need to install a whole host of emulators on any devices you want to use it with. If you want to play on multiple devices, you don’t need to worry about save syncing. It’s not for eve…

I see it’s not available on Linux, thank god :blush: Anyhow, as long as it can be disabled so it does not appear on my server/clients then good luck to them. Seems like a very odd move to me but they must feel there is some market for it!

Was exactly my thought also. This feature/suggestion must have got most votes - I guess :man_shrugging:

It actually comes out of Plex Labs. Check the TechCrunch article: https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/26/plex-launches-a-subscription-based-retro-game-streaming-service-plex-arcade/
