First launched in June, Zynga’s Star Wars Hunters has been a well-received and fairly enjoyable multiplayer title, however the sport has been blocking Android foldables such because the Galaxy Z Fold collection since day one, and insists on going out of its manner to take action.
As we coated beforehand, Zynga was blocking the obtain of Star Wars Hunters on gadgets corresponding to Galaxy Z Fold 5, Fold 4, and Pixel Fold when it first debuted. Nevertheless it didn’t block the OnePlus Open, oddly sufficient, and performed simply advantageous on the the machine by means of its massive inside show.
When the Galaxy Z Fold 6 hit the market, we seen that the sport was, unusually, freely obtainable for obtain by way of the Play Retailer.
That’s now quietly modified. The Play Retailer now says that Star Wars Hunters is abruptly “not suitable” with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 following its newest updates. And, for individuals who put in early on, the sport not features because it requires an replace that the Play Retailer won’t set up. The replace ought to nonetheless be obtainable for sideload, nevertheless it can’t be accessed by way of the Play Retailer.
But, the sport remains to be obtainable for obtain on OnePlus Open.
We suspect that Zynga could merely be blocking the foldables it’s conscious of, with the OnePlus Open’s “underdog” standing and the Fold 6’s first few weeks of availability slipping previous the corporate’s radar.
Why is Zynga blocking Android foldables? It’s arduous to say for sure, and the corporate hasn’t offered a transparent reply wherever. The sport, in our testing, runs completely advantageous on the altered facet ratio. It’s definitely not a problem of functionality, too, as the sport is totally suitable with non-foldable counterparts to those gadgets such because the Galaxy S24 Extremely and Pixel 8 Professional. It’s a wierd and, from the standpoint of foldable homeowners, irritating determination, and one we definitely hope will change.
