Apple has updated the App Store<\/a> in Australia to mark the beginning of celebrations for the country’s national holiday Australia Day<\/a>, which takes place annually on January 26. The landing page for the iOS App Store now sports a collection of apps and categories that highlight Australia’s green and gold national colors.<\/p>\n

The update includes an emphasis on in-game additions with Australia Day-themed add-ons, as well as general promotions taking place in certain apps. Gaming apps involved in the celebrations include Clash of Clans<\/em>, Torque Burnout<\/em>, Marvel Contest of Champions<\/em>, Asphalt Xtreme<\/em>, and more.<\/p>\n

Non-gaming apps have also been rounded up for Australia Day, including DocPlay, which notes that a collection of Australian-centric documentaries are free for a limited time within the app.<\/p>\n

Apple has given the App Store a celebratory overhaul in the past, last year encouraging users to get involved in its Apps for Earth<\/a> and World AIDS Day<\/a> campaigns by promoting apps that forwarded proceeds to relevant causes. When looking back on 2016 at the beginning of the new year, Apple announced<\/a> that App Store developers made $20 billion in 2016, which the company said was up 40 percent from 2015.<\/p>\n
