Top games on PC, Xbox and Playstation don't even cost half as much.
Today the “Sniper Battle” app is available free of charge in the Google Play Store.
Munich - Apps and mobile phone games that actually cost money in the Google Play Store are often offered free of charge for a certain period of time.
So every user can download the game and spend time with it.
For the developers, this means more downloads, more advertising revenue or more additional purchases that users spend on the game.
In addition, the app is becoming better known as the number of downloads increases and it may even make it into the app charts.
Today, Thursday, March 11th, 2021, the game "Sniper Battle" is available for free.
Curious: The game is actually listed with a price of 214.99 euros.
Blockbuster games on the PC or consoles usually cost around 70 euros.
In special editions, these games are sometimes offered with additional content for 100 euros, but a price of 214.99 euros is extremely unusual.
Google Play Store: € 215 game with poor graphics
The game from developer "ARSL Games" is a "first person shooter".
In a graphic that by no means justifies the regular amount, the player is supposed to free hostages with a sniper rifle and shoot the opponents.
According to
netzwelt.de, the
gameplay is reminiscent
of games like "Deer Hunter" and should include a slow-motion mode and several weapons to choose from.
According to the app description, there are several missions with story elements.
It will also be updated regularly.
It is also unusual that there is advertising in the game - although it is otherwise supposed to cost 214.99 euros.
Usually this is only the case if the game is regularly free of charge or if you haven't made a specific additional purchase.
The other games offered by the developer in the Play Store are free or cost a maximum of 1.39 euros.
Only the developers know whether the listed price is a mistake, a joke or a good marketing idea.
Google Play Store: "Learn to walk" is also free today
By the way: with our brand new consumer newsletter you will always be kept up to date on consumer information and product recalls.
Furthermore, the “Learn to walk” app is free today.
The fitness application aims to teach the user how to jog properly and how to get over longer distances over time.
The app actually costs 4.95 euros, so it is listed with a "normal" price.
It is not known how long the free offers are valid.
