Apple releases App Store games in Brazil

Details are still scarce at the moment but it seems the games in the Brazilian version of the iTunes App Store were released on the afternoon of Thursday (5). The hint that they were there was sent in by reader Samuel Smith, who noted that the category of games appeared in the web version of the store that shows a preview of available applications. He also said he managed to buy a game, but as there was no official response from Apple still do not know if it's just a mistake or not.


If you already have a credit card and bank account in Brazil in the store you can buy games that are classified indicative imported from America. It is quite different from that adopted in Brazil, so there is still chance to be a huge mistake.

The purchase, however, be released only after the user agrees to the new terms of service. The same process is required to download games from the online store application for Mac, as the Everton player Favretto Twitter. The category specific games that store is also available on the web.

The first clue that this would happen was given by See, who said the store would be launched later this month. Apparently Apple has decided to anticipate and games released today. But what form the giant apple found to circumvent (or obey) Brazilian law, we do not know yet. 148apps The site, which indexes all the programs in store for iOS, estimates that in all 95,000 of them are included in the category games.

We tried to contact Apple Brazil for more information but so far not got a response.
