SEGA to pull ‘Jet Set Radio’ from Google Play Store

SEGA looks like they want to work out the kinks of its Jet Set Radio game as they plan to pull the game out of the Google Play Store soon. There have been issues with the game on iOS 8 and while there are no similar reports for Android, SEGA wants to make sure all users get the game experience they intended for it. They didn’t set a specific date yet when the game is going to come back for both platforms though. If you still want to check it out before it gets pulled from Android (temporarily), now is probably the best time to download it.
