Some of the games that you’ll receive include Monument Valley, Beach Buggy Racing, and Angry Birds Go. Subscribers will also get the following:

• Unlimited on-demand access to Hatch Premium’s curated portfolio of more than 100 premium mobile games, including Chameleon Run and Monument Valley, the award-winning Crashlands, and exclusive Hatch Originals like Angry Birds Go Turbo Edition and Arkanoid Rising.
• A rich social gaming experience, including competitive leaderboards and shared gameplay sessions with voice chat.

All good things must come to an end and after the complimentary three-month subscription ends, users will have to pay $8 per month per line. It’ll be interesting to see how Hatch’s subscription model holds up against the likes of Apple Arcade, GeForce Now and Play Pass. Hatch will be available on Sprint 5G smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, LG V50 ThinQ 5G, and OnePlus 7 Pro 5G.
