• Google’s Freeplay experience has been removed.

• The experience caused crashes for some.

• Google says it will return in the “coming months.”

If you love watching TV and want access to a large number of channels, a live streaming TV service will be right for you. Fortunately, Google’s Freeplay service has just been overhauledwith a host of improvements like an updated UI and the addition of more content. In fact, the app has hundreds of channels, which is a huge amount of content to browse through.

And while you might be eager to jump into Google Freeplay to try it out, we have some bad news because the experience has been removed, meaning you won’t have access to it for now . Although we’ve seen this behavior before, it seems that people from 9to5Google have locked down a reason, with Google sharing details about the missing experience and when we can expect it to return.

Crashes for some means Freeplay experience for none

Google confirmed to the outlet that some users were experiencing crashing issues with the recently updated guide, leading the brand to disable it on “affected devices.” The company didn’t say which devices were specifically affected, but if you don’t see it on your streaming device, there’s a good chance your product was having issues.

The media outlet reports that among all the devices tested, the recently released Google TV Streamer is the only one to still have access to Freeplay. As for the app’s return, Google said it would arrive on devices in “the coming months.”

For the most part, this is a blow, especially as we approach the holiday season which sees so many people enjoying shows during long breaks and busy weekends. Of course, if you need access to streaming videos, you can always head to YouTube or try one of the many paid services like Netflix, HBO’s Max, Disney+ and others.

It will really depend on the content, and it won’t directly replace Freeplay, especially since it’s not free, but there are some great options, which means you should find something that can replace your binge watching . habit at the moment.
