Fruit Ninja has been refreshed with characters and themes from Bluey, and Apple is partnering with Halfbrick Studios to promote the crossover and Apple Arcade. The offer is available now for both new and returning subscribers.
First-time users can combine Halfbrick's free month with Apple's standard trial to get two months at no cost. If you've subscribed to Apple Arcade before, you can still claim a single free month by signing up through .
To redeem the offer, go to Halfbrick's promo site and choose your country from the dropdown menu. Promo codes are available in the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., Germany, Japan, the Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico.
The codes are limited, so it's a good idea to claim one soon. The event celebrates a new update in Fruit Ninja Classic+ that features characters and designs from the hit children's TV series Bluey.
There are themed dojos, wands, powers, and hidden surprises inspired by the show. The in-game event runs through August 13 and includes four challenges with unlockable rewards.
