Just after that, the game was made available for Android gamers in New Zealand and Australia in Sept. Moreover, after "Plants vs. Zombies 2" for Android reached China, PopCap blog reported that:
"A huge wave of zombies has landed in China! That's right: Plants vs. Zombies 2 is now available for Android in China. This means we're one step closer to bringing the Android adaptation of Plants vs. Zombies 2 to the whole world!"

Currently, "Grand Theft Auto 5" app is also awaiting release for Android users.
