Another Elder Scrolls Game Set To Be Unplayable Later This Year

Google Play changes may render Daggerfall Unity Android unplayable. Google announced it will phase out sideloading apps from unverified developers on Android devices, encouraging the use of the Google Play store. This move has attracted criticism from developers and users. Daggerfall Unity Android cannot be published on the Google Play Store due to copyright reasons and cannot be emulated via a Rom. The game may become unplayable on mobile unless Google clarifies if sideloading apps will still be allowed.
