Angry Birds Classic: The Slingshot Game that Everyone Loves
Angry Birds, one of the most popular mobile games of all time, is undergoing some changes. The classic version of the game is being delisted from the Google Play store but will continue to be available on the App Store, with a new name.

First released in 2009, Angry Birds has become a global phenomenon, with over four billion downloads worldwide. The game's simple premise, in which players launch birds at structures to defeat pigs, has captivated audiences for over a decade.
However, with the rise of new mobile games and changing consumer preferences, Rovio Entertainment, the developers of Angry Birds, have decided to delist the classic version of the game from the Google Play store. This means that the game will no longer be available for download on Android devices.
The initial iOS version of the game, which soft launched in Finland on December 1, 2009 and released internationally 10 days later, included a single episode entitled "Poached Eggs" which contained three themed chapters, each with 21 levels. From time to time, Rovio has released free upgrades that include additional content, such as new levels, new in-game objects and even new birds. As updates have been released, they have been incorporated into the game's full version offered for download from each platform's application store.[29]
Back in 2019, mobile developer Rovio Entertainment removed two of its iconic games, Angry Birds Classic and Angry Birds Seasons from app stores. With the fast-moving pace of technology, they chose to release follow-ups rather than continuously update the original games. Of course, many fans who fell in love with the original wanted that version of the game back and now, Rovio Entertainment is answering the call. Angry Birds Classic is once again available to download and play, and as an original player I can confirm: it's addictive, nostalgic fun.
Back in the days before practically every mobile game was a free-to-play, ad- and microtransaction-laden sinkhole, Rovio found years of viral success selling paid downloads of Angry Birds to tens of millions of smartphone users. Today, though, the company is delisting the last "pay upfront" version of the game from mobile app stores because of what it says is a "negative impact" on the more lucrative free-to-play titles in the franchise.

Rovio Entertainment unleashed Angry Birds on December 11, 2009, almost a year and a half after Apple created the App Store. The premise was simple: hungry pigs would steal eggs from birds, and those birds would get angry enough to take their eggs back. As the player, you would help the birds out, slingshotting them to destroy the pigs and collect points and stars.
Ironically, the late Steve Jobs didn't think developers needed a dedicated way to write software for iPhone when it was first released back in 2007. The reversal of that decision a year later unleashed nothing short of a revolution in both the technology and the way it's sold. It's less than 5 years later and 50 billion app downloads are days away. Those birds might not want to admit it, but they have a lot to smile about.
According to the announcement, Rovio Classics: Angry Birds will still be playable on devices where it has already been downloaded, even after it is delisted from Google Play. So if you're a fan of the game, you might want to download it and confirm its functionality before it is removed from the app store.
Angry Birds is one of the old classics of mobile gaming. The physics-based casual game released all the way back in 2009 and the collective series has clocked over three billion downloads in its history. There are numerous games, movies, and merchandise that sprang from the IP in the interim years.
The impact on Rovio was all too clear. Angry Birds was the sixth most downloaded game of 2013, and no entry in the series has appeared in the top ten since. It ventured into branded spin-offs, tapping into IP such as Star Wars and Transformers, and brought the birds into new genres such as racing, RPGs, pinball and (inevitably) match-three. But none of these matched the success of the original game.
It has been a decade of hard lessons learned. Angry Birds took off faster than Rovio could have anticipated and staying ahead of that momentum has been a challenge. Yet the series continues to show it's resilience, while App Annie reports it only ranks at No.32 in the list of 2019's most popular mobile franchises in terms of revenue, the combination of all its games place it at No.1 in terms of downloads. The birds' popularity continues, and Levoranta believes this underlines the biggest lesson Rovio has learned: "Focus on what you are doing and try to be the best at it."
