On December 31, it was reported that more than 47000 apps were removed from the national and regional App Store today. According to statistics, about 40000 of them are game products, including NBA 2K20, Wild Racing 8, Assassin's Creed: True Color, Famine: Pocket Edition and other well-known masterpieces.

It is reported that the large-scale removal of these games is in response to Apple's notice to developers in early December, which requires game developers/developers to submit game version numbers and other information before December 31, otherwise these games will be removed from the App Store in China.

In fact, as early as July this year, Apple began to implement the new version number rule, requiring developers to provide the game version number information to be able to launch their game products after July 1. In August this year, there was a large-scale offline, and the notice in early December can be said to have been an "ultimatum" to developers. According to the previous statistics of Sensor Tower, which focuses on mobile application analysis and research, Apple has removed 94000 game applications from the national app store this year.

It should be said that this wave of offline games has a great impact on mobile game players. It is unlikely that some of them will be re launched after the version numbers of offline games are settled. Especially for users who like to play some foreign niche mobile games, it may be necessary to keep a US account.
