Learn why Sigma Battle Royale was removed from the Google Play Store

Sigma Battle Royale is the new Garena Free Fire copy game

According to sources exclusive to Free Fire Mania , which had access to the application's removal process in the Android store, the reason why Sigma Battle Royale was removed from the Google Play Store is surprising and should resolve any doubts users may have regarding the game.

Contrary to what many think, Garena did not request the removal of Sigma, nor did it buy Studio Arm, the game's producer. Sigma Battle Royale has been removed from the Play Store by Google itself , as Studio Arm and its APK has been identified as a high-risk profile.

As noted exclusively, Sigma Battle Royale has been removed from the Google Play Store for not complying with the Google Developer Program Policy . In addition, more relevant information was made available about the disappearance of Sigma from the Android store:

The “com.studioarm.sigma” application currently contains references to Garena Free Fire, which is unable to validate your account's relationship with the original or proprietary content.

In other words, Google has removed Sigma Battle Royale from the Play Store as it has identified that the game contains Intellectual Property violations:

Apps or developer accounts that infringe other people's intellectual property rights (including trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other proprietary rights) are not allowed.

Finally, so that Sigma Battle Royale can return to the Google Play Store and users can download the most up-to-date APK , it is necessary for Studio Arm to make changes to the store listing, including icon, images, textures and other items to avoid confusion with the original owner of the brand ( Garena Free Fire ).
