The latest update to the Angry Birds Rio (v1.3.0) is now available for iOS, Ovi, Nook and Android via the Amazon AppStore and Android Marketplace. We hope that the PC and Mac receive the latest update soon as well. As we predicted this update takes place at the Rio airport and is aptly named, “Airfield Chase”. The leaderboard is up and running and if you’re stuck our 3 star and apple walkthrough videos are ready.
Note: We’ve received quite a few reports from iOS users who have said that after updating to v1.3.0 Rio crashes. If this happens to you try turning on Airplane Mode. If you’re on a first-gen device that doesn’t have Airplane Mode turn off wi-fi. This has worked for many users. You may have to play like this until a bug fix is released.
This update includes:
- 15 new levels in Chapter 9 (links to walkthroughs) with Chapter 10 labeled, “Coming Soon”
- New hidden fruits in the form of Apples (seven hidden throughout Chapter 9)
- Two new achievements to be unlocked (iOS only)
- Big Brother is now unlocked and his bulbous frame looks very angry!
- Pro tip! Try to hit the luggage. It’s worth 5,000 points!
Bug fixes:
- The achievements bug has been fixed so any achievements you earned Carnival Upheaval should now register in Game Center. Mine registered the first time I launched the new update.
- The 17/15 watermelon bug that was introduced with the Golden Beachball episode has been fixed.
For now, please enjoy these complimentary screenshots:
Rio Airfield Chase Level 9-1

I’m a new for this game,and I’m addicted.
I have the rio,seasons,and the original angry birds,but I realised that the rio and the original one was the old version,so I got:
15 carnival upheaval in rio and 15 mine n ‘dine in original one.
what I want to ask is,how to update your angry birds? without restarting all the progress?
and for rio,what’s the purpose of collect all the bonus fruit? cause I’ve got it all and it unlocks nothing.
thanks !
Updating your apps depends on what kind of device you are using. Most mobile devices (iPhone iPad Android etc) update via their corresponding AppStore. It should update your app without changing any of your scores, progress, etc. (I say should because very rarely things go wrong in the update process and information may be lost. If you are using iPhone / iPad, it is safest to sync to iTunes before updating your apps.)
In Rio, there is currently no bonus levels for collecting all the fruit, but Rovio has considered adding this feature.
I have it on my ipod..I don’t know about this appstore (yeah,jailbresk maybe)
I never use wi-fi to download games,I always download the ipa file.I know the install us store,but I can’t find it on pc for the ipa download.what I have is cydia but others recommed the installus.
And how to update it?I mean,the steps?
Wohoo! It’s available on Ovi. Thank you for reporting it, and thanks to Rovio for making it happen! Is there also those Carnival Upheaval-levels, wich I have only like “Coming Soon”? (I haven’t yet updated…)
I assume this brings Ovi as up-to-date as any platform.
The bigger question: Are the Golden Beachball levels unlockable?
In game the update-button says “you already have the newest version”. When I went to Ovi, there was this new version (v1.3.0). Then I tried to update from the Ovi, but it just said something like “update failed”. And now in Ovi AB Rio says, that I should buy it again! And that’s not what I’m gonna do.
Then I went to the game, and I had my progress still there (thank God!) And still, in game update-button just says the same (no new version availagle). Should I just wait, until the update comes to my game, or what should I do?
I hope you understand me…
I understand but I’m also not too familiar with Symbian. Probably waiting until the in-game update is successful is your safest bet. You can also contact the support at Ovi Store.
OK, I’ll wait. Thanks for the quick response :)
Yeah! Now the update came to my game. No problems, everything worked well. And other big news is that those Golden Beachball levels are also now available for Nokia!!! Thanks to Rovio, it maked me very happy! Now I have something to do for a very long time. Wohoo!
Great news! I’m glad to hear good things coming to Ovi Store. I assume the Golden Beachball levels unlocked the same way as iOS/Android (roll a bird under the slingshot in Beach Volley 6-13)?
Yes, it works the same way.
But there is a differense: All those seven squares (Smugglers’ Den, Jungle Escape, Beach Volley, Carnival Upheaval, Airfield Chase, Coming Soon (=?), and Golden Beachball) are showed at the same time, but in iOS and Droid it have to scroll to right to see that Golden Beachball. Otherwise, I think it’s just the same.
I noticed that you stated that Rio was updated yet on my Android phone I have no update. Is this because of Verizon?
The post says that the update is available for “Android via Amazon AppStore”. If you use the ad-free version from Amazon, then your update is available there. We expect the update for Android Market to land in a few more days. (Amazon has an exclusivity contract on Rio which typically lasts one week)
I have finished all the levels including the carnival but its still telling me that there is no update for angry birds rio but i haven’t received and update either for the airfield chase. i am using a Samsung mezmerize.
The Airfield update has not yet landed for Android Market. We expect it in a few days.
I wonder if the mighty eagle will ever hit rio? Probably not in a long time because they just added the mighty eagle for angry birds seasons :/
I think the imaging is there but I’m not sure.
I bet they will, but maybe towards the end of the year, November-December. Or even in the final update!
Arrrgghhh i just want my Android update!
When’s Chapter 10 of Angry Birds Rio going to be released?
Chapter 9 was just released a week ago. Patience is a virtue.
It’ll probably be out sometime after the moon festival is finished
I perform this update today in Android Market, but this level is not working… :-(
Hrm, I don’t see it on Market’s direct link. But if you saw it on your phone, perhaps in an hour or so? Keep us updated.
1 week has passed and still no sign of the update. when will the update come to the android market
AppStores typically do not push updates on weekends. We expect Market to update both AB and Rio this week.
Nice.
Smugglers Den-Pineapple
Jungle Escape-Banana
Beach Volley-Melon
Carnival Upheaval-Papaya
Airfield Chase-Apple
What is next? Lemon?
How many kinds of levels will you actually create? I am craving for more!
When I said levels I meant chapters(or levels what so ever)
We are just a fan site. Not the game developers.
From an old image, I THINK the last fruit is grapes.
**EDIT** Found the old image, thanks to a post by Mighty Eagle.
the new update(airfield chase)has hit the android market
Great! Thanks for the heads up.
Woooooooooohhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo finally
i found this batch of levels to be the easiest out of all the angry birds chapters of levels, including ABO and ABS. blew through it pretty quickly, and im not gonna brag and say that im the best player ever, usually i have to go to the walkthroughs to 3 star all the levels but for this group of levels i was able to 3 star all but 1 without referring to the walkthroughs. it was quite satisfying to do so well on a bunch of levels without any help!
Anyone else having problems with the update in Android market? Know how to solve it?
Yesterday I saw that the update was there, but when I tried to update I just got connection error all the time. And there was nothing wrong with my connection, since I could update other apps at the same time. After having tried a few times the game disappeared from the list of my apps, and now it shows as not being installed at all. It is however still on my phone with my previous progress saved.
I don’t dare try to install it again – what if I lose all my scores?
I’m not sure about the issues with the download. A few users here have reported getting thenupdate fine.
As per an Android backup of data, there are a few apps out there on Market designed to specifically do this.
Initially I had issues with the download completing. It would just say download. However, if I exited the Market and returned. The Update would be listed as if I never clicked it. This happened 4 to 5 times before I actually saw the data show it was being downloaded. I assumed that everyone was trying to d/l at the same time.
Once installed, I have since played through and have 44/45 stars and 7/15 Apples. Not once have I had a problem playing. No need for Airplace Mode. Game is working flawlessly. I have the HTC 4G EVO.
In the past, I have had some go from “update” to “not installed”. Even though my app was still installed. I assumed it just meant that I didn’t complete the install of the update and once I clicked it again, everything worked fine. You may also try rebooting to see if the app does a status check and switches back from “not installed” to “update” again. ;-)
For all those nook owners out there…new update for rio is available. Gives you the second chapter of carnival and frist chapter of airfield chase…..plus bonus beachball level can now b unlocked……so now the nook is up to date with the phones for rio
Woo!!!
I saw update for airfield chase (10.1-10.15) i installed it, downloaded fine, went to start the game, it said coming soon :s i tried reboot ipad, still the same. Any idea? Cheers.
A few users have misread this update. I have copied the AppStore update detais in this post.
Hey Birdleader
Maybe you should put on this post that the newest update for Angry Birds Rio only fixes bugs, not release new levels. Everytime Rovio fixes their bugs, and recaps on what happen on their last update, everyone gets all mad because they misread the info and gives it bad reviews. The average score rio has now is now 2 and a half stars.
Finally I got to be able to break some news first…lol
Hopefully the rest of mine & dine will be updated soon as well for the nook. Also still says seasons is coming soon for the nook….has anyone heard when that might be ?
Not yet. Rovio tends to keep their lips sealed whenever dates are involved.
Hi there, I have a small problem with Rio and please need your help. After the Airfield Chase update, my Beach Volley scorecard shows 14/15 which was initially showing 16/15 (because of Golden Beachball) before the update. What should I do as I have already cleared all the melons? Please reply.:-)
The Golden Beachball (accidentally) added two melons to your score. This bug has since been removed. Thus 16-2=14, so you still have 1 melon to find. Check out the melon guide to find which one you are missing.
AMslimfordy, thank you for your info and melon guide. I have scored the last melon. Cheers…
Update fails for Rio, seasons and normal version with HTC desire. Never had issues before. Anyone else experiencing the same? Do we know if rovio is going to fix it? It’s really frustrating.
Rovio is aware of loading issues, but it doesn’t hurt to shoot them an email at [email protected] including device details.
There are a few quasi-solutions. You can try disabling 3G/4G and updating solely connected to WiFi. Also, per Rovio’s FAQ:
i havent recieved the update for this game. im waiting it to come out. anyway haow to update the game in pc without getting the scores erased?
Sure, check out the #1 bullet in this comment and you’ll be all set.
Any word on Chapter 10 for Airfield Rio?
I think we are getting pretty close, but that’s just based on the update history. The following is a list of the release dates of level updates for iOS:
03/22: v1.0.0 (Launch with Smugglers Den & Jungle Escape)
05/12: v1.1.0 (Beach Volley 5-6)
06/08: v1.2.0 (Carnival Upheaval 7)
07/14: v1.2.2 (Carnival Upheaval 8 )
08/18: v1.3.0 (Airfield Chase 9)
I heard from someone that Rio update for PC will come next week. Is it true?
I don’t think that’s right. PC typically receives Rio updates a couple weeks after mobile finishes a full episode. But a mobile update is due soon.
Okay. Then i just hope that , the day rio update comes out in ios,droid…pc gets at least an update. Either seasons release for pc or mine and dine last ep.
I don’t know why seasons not coming yet. It was leaked, i got that and saw that it was ok. Just few bugs. Sounds,picture quality,some levels seemed bugged. If they correct those, it wont take more than 2 weeks. It was out august 30 mayb. Was soo long?
Don’t know what to tell you. There must be other bugs involved. The coding to take the app from mobile to PC is very non-trivial. Like I said, I think PC will get the Rio update a few weeks after mobile does.
he he…won’t bother you! Lol…
hello!!! U have any ideea when will update the chapter 10?
I think my comment above gives a decent speculation on when Chapter 10 may come out for iOS and Amazon Appstore.
(Note: Android Market is usually 5-7 business days later than Amazon; Mac/PC may be about two weeks after iOS; other systems vary.)
Ok i understand!!….i was thinking maybe u have ideea about it…we are just curious!!! Thank you! Have a nice day!
Just curious-
The mighty eagle. Only accesed by in-app purchase. Do you think, in coming times, mighty eagle can be purchased from pc? I mean, itunes is in pc. So will it be possible to link in-app purchase through itunes? Think this way– U click in-app purchase link and it opens your pc itunes and u get to buy it?
Woke up from sleep and this thought popped.
I doubt it will be through iTunes — as the app itself is a standalone .exe and has nothing to do with iTunes. I would think it would power simply through Rovio’s own servers. Basically, my idea is that you would click the Eagle Eye within the PC/SO game, an in-game browser would open to a designated page from shop.angrybirds.com and your purchase would automatically be logged to your activation code.
Hmmm…your theory makes sense. Then that’ll be good. Let’s wait! Not in a hurry. Just hope rovio bring mighty eagle to pc and without glitches. Rovio , take your time…Give us the leader of angry birds.
Update alert! AB Rio 1.3.2 with 15 new levels
For which platform?
So far, only iOS.
YAY! SO NOW, my dear rovio, u have to give pc users ab original,rio and seasons within this october… please?
They’ve made no time commitments on anything, especially Seasons.
Ya i know. Just gave them a bumpy bumpy comment….
when is the update for airfield chase for mac coming out!!!!!!!! im so tired of being one of the last to get the freaking updates!!!!!! god!
Mac/PC is expected soon. Usually within a couple weeks of the mobile completion of an episode.
Would you have any idea why, if I’ve won/passed all my levels in Airfield Chase, up to and including level 11, level 12 won’t unlock?
Try restarting your device, then defeat Level 11 again. Be sure to hit the “>>” button when it shows your stars when you pass 11 again.
Thanks!!!!! It’s working fine now!!!!! HUGS.
