Are the games in the Apple Arcade section safe to install and play on my iPhone (no malware or viruses)? What’s the difference between Apple arcade games and normal not arcade games?
Thanks!
iPhone 13, iOS 16
1. Yes.
2. The games in the arcade are part of the subscription and will only play while it's active. Others are standalone items.

Why wouldn't they be safe? There's no way Apple would make the apps available without first testing them.
The other key distinction is that Apple Arcade games are free of adverts and in-app purchases.
