Email from App Store dated 12/25/2020

I received an email subject: “Needed Action - Your Recent purchase Strategy Games: Gladiator Hero on the App Store Order #17754217262 confirmed.” It wants to know if I purchased and to click on a link. I did not purchase a game. Just need to know if this is a legitimate Apple email. Thank you.

If the only indication of the charges is from an email or text, be aware that it may be a phishing attempt to get you to log in to a site that appears to be Apple and divulge your password or credit card information.
