Angry Birds: Angry Birds ‘Classic’ removed from Google Play Store: Read what the company has to say – Times of India
Rovio has announced that it will remove the ‘Classic’ version of Angry Birds from the Google Play Store. The removal will effectively cut off Android players. Starting today (February 23), “Rovio Classics: Angry Birds” will be delisted from the Google Play Store. This means that the ‘Classic’ version of Angry Birds will no longer be available for purchase on Android. The game, however, will remain accessible to those who have already purchased the game for $0.99.
Angry Birds ‘Classic’ was released on March 31, 2022. This means that it was available for less than a year. Angry Birds ‘Classic’ is a re-release of the original version of Angry Birds, which is among the first hit games on mobile devices. The original version of the game was delisted long ago as Rovio turned its attention to free-to-play spinoffs and sequels. As of February 22, Angry Birds ‘Classic’ is the only paid app Rovio distributes on the Play Store.
Why is the game shutting down
In a statement shared on Twitter, Rovio said that it has “reviewed the business case” for this game in particular and decided to pull it from distribution due to the “impact on our wider games portfolio.”
