So I bought Final Fantasy IX a while back when it released on google play and I've been waiting for a release on it for Android TV support. well I was tired of waiting so I downloaded it onto my phone and extracted the APK from it and manually installed it onto my Shield TV. The game appears under my Games tab with full icon art and controller support and seems to run just fine but why hasn't it appeared on the Android TV google play store?
Are there any other games that actually do support android tv but don't appear on the store?
Many apps/games work on android tv. However, the developers must update their listing to say so before it will show in the correct store listing. Hence the creation of sideloader.
Why they don't? Beyond me. Maybe it requires testing before they can vouch it works. And for the small user base that is androidtv, they just don't care to? I'd like to know as well.
Glad you found this one works. I'll have to check it out. Any reason to get this new one? Did they update it in any way to use it instead of say an emulator version?
Thx.
