Ravio has announced that it has removed Angry Bird from the Google Play Store and kept the iOS version. The game became very popular at some point, which is why many entertainment products, such as movies and others, were referenced from it.
Rovio has announced that it will be removing the Android version of Angry Birds and rebranding it as the iOS version, claiming that the game influences the success of its other games. The publisher removed several games of the aforementioned title, including the original 2009 version from app stores in 2019, claiming that they were for “testing purposes.”
The original title was relaunched in April 2022 under the name Rovio Classics: Angry Birds. Less than a year after bringing the game back, the studio is pulling it again. While the Android version has been removed entirely, the iOS version has been renamed Red's First Flight, a move that seems to have made it harder to recognize as the mysterious bird game we know. The company released an official statement saying the following:
“We have reviewed the operational status of Rovio Classics: Angry Birds and, due to the impact of the game on our broader games portfolio, we have determined that Rovio Classics: Angry Birds will not be listed on the Google Play Store on Thursday, February 23. Additionally, the game will be renamed to Red's First Flight on the iOS App Store.
The game will continue to be playable on the devices it was downloaded to even after it has been removed from the list. The team said they understand this is sad news for many fans, as well as the team that worked hard on this. And they apologize in general for such a sudden move.
