The original Angry Birds game, released in 2009 and later marketed as Rovio Classics: Angry Birds, will be removed from the Google Play Store on February 23, 2023, marking the end of an era of one of the most popular video games in the world.
This revelation comes from game developer Rovio Entertainment, who took to Twitter to share the news of the game’s delisting from the Google Play Store. The developer also said that while the game will be removed from the Play Store on Thursday, it will be rebranded as “Red’s First Flight” in the Apple App Store pending further review.
The game will remain playable on already downloaded devices even after it is unlisted from the Play Store. So, if you’re a fan of Rovio Classics: Angry Birds, you might want to install the game and make sure it’s functional before the date hits.
Rovio said the game was removed from the list due to its impact on their portfolio of games, including Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds Dream Blast, Angry Birds Friends, Angry Birds Journey, Angry Birds Reloaded and Angry Birds Minecraft.
If you haven’t tried Rovio Classics: Angry Birds yet, which is a paid game, you can download it from here to your Android device and from here to your iPhone or iPad.
