In November 2014, ''BTD5 Deluxe'' was discontinued and replaced with the [[Bloons TD 5 (mobile)|Steam release of the mobile version]].<ref>{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150114143357/http://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/52093-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-21-november-14|retrieved=26 Aug 2024|title=What's Up at Ninja Kiwi? - 21 November'14|publisher=Ninja Kiwi Blog}}</ref> However, the Flash version continued to receive updates for several years after its discontinuation, meaning this version lacks several features and changes that were introduced to the Flash version post-mortem.
''BTD5 Deluxe'' initially released as a paid downloadable game on Ninja Kiwi's website. On {{date|22 sep 2012}}, Ninja Kiwi created a [[wp:Steam (service)#Steam Greenlight|Steam Greenlight]] page for the game,<ref>{{cite|archive url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120917044503/http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=95579520|url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=95579520|title=Steam Greenlight :: Bloons TD 5 Deluxe|archive timestamp=20120917044503}}</ref> which was eventually greenlit. However, on {{date|4 nov 2014}}, the Steam Greenlight page was renamed from ''Bloons TD 5 Deluxe'' to ''Bloons TD 5'' and its list of features was changed to match the {{multiplat version|Bloons TD 5}},<ref>{{cite|url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=95579520|archive url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151219052513/http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=95579520|title=Steam Greenlight :: Bloons TD 5|archive timestamp=20151219052513}}</ref> which is the version of the game that released on {{timestamp|19 November 2014 10:43:08 UTC}}.<ref>[https://steamdb.info/app/306020/ SteamDB]</ref> On {{date|21 nov 2014}}, Ninja Kiwi announced that ''BTD5 Deluxe'' was officially discontinued and would not be available for purchase anymore, and players who did purchase it would receive a free key for the Steam port of ''BTD5''.<ref>{{cite|archive url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150114143357/http://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/52093-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-21-november-14|url=http://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/52093-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-21-november-14|retrieved=26 Aug 2024|title=What's Up at Ninja Kiwi? - 21 November'14|publisher=Ninja Kiwi Blog}}</ref> The Flash version continued to receive updates for several years after its discontinuation, meaning this version lacks several features and changes that were introduced to the Flash version post-mortem.
