Section 1: Where Can You Officially Download Sonic Blitz?

💡 Important: Sonic Blitz is only available in the Philippines through official app stores during the technical test phase.

📱 iOS (iPhone/iPad)

App Store (Philippines Only): https://apps.apple.com/ph/app/sonic-blitz/id6743215971

❗ You must have a Philippines-based Apple ID to download this version. See below for workaround options.

🤖 Android

Google Play Store (Philippines Only): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovio.blitz

❗ Your Google account region must be set to the Philippines, or you’ll see “This item isn’t available in your country.”

Section 2: How to Access the Game If You're Not in the Philippines

✅ Option 1: Change Your Region (Recommended for Advanced Users)

iOS:

Sign out of your current Apple ID.
Create a new Apple ID with country/region set to Philippines.
Use a valid PH address (Google “Philippines Apple Store address generator” if needed).
Download the game via the PH App Store link.

Android:

Go to Google Play Settings > Country & Profiles.
Switch to Philippines (requires a PH payment method and address).
Alternatively, create a new Google account with region set to PH.

⚠️ Risks: Changing your region may disrupt subscriptions, app availability, or store credit. Proceed with caution.

✅ Option 2: Android APK Sideloading (Least Secure, Not Recommended)

Download APK from a reputable site (e.g., APKMirror, APKPure).
Enable “Install from Unknown Sources.”
Install manually and monitor updates.

⚠️ Dangers: Sideloaded APKs can contain malware, may not auto-update, and could violate terms of service.

Section 3: Game Performance & Device Optimization

Even if you gain access, the tech test build can be unstable. Here’s how to optimize your experience.

🔧 Minimum Requirements:

Android: 4GB RAM, Snapdragon 730+ or equivalent
iOS: iPhone 8 or newer (iOS 13+)

🧹 Tips to Reduce Lag and Crashes:

Close background apps before launching Sonic Blitz.
Switch to performance mode or lower graphics (if the option appears).
Keep your OS and the game updated.
Avoid VPNs or background downloads while playing.

⚠️ Common Bugs Reported (as of June 2025):

Matchmaking hangs on low-bandwidth networks.
Certain character cards not rendering.
Occasional deck freeze after a victory.

✅ Most bugs are being actively patched—watch for weekly updates via the game store or Reddit community.

Section 4: Will My Progress Carry Over After Global Launch?
