I, too was not able to reproduce the same result again.
When I tried to do the same search again, I had one column more dedicated to non ad space, namely, showing the description of the game. Dont know how I got that particular spread of ads galore at that particular moment.
For me, the first search result started being an ad a few months ago. I accidentally clicked them a couple times before realizing and then paying more attention. Android 13 and Android 11 (2 different devices) both in US
When I search two dots, it’s the first thing at the top of the results with ads underneath it. Possibly a regional difference?
Copying a response I made to a similar comment:

Screenshot taken later with the same query:

My version of android is, indeed, an older one, and my region is India, I suppose all these factor into what I see when I search for stuff.
