Flappy Bird Soars Back to Screens with New Innovations

Flappy Bird, the celebrated mobile game that once took the world by storm and sparked a flood of internet memes, has made a triumphant comeback. Relaunching today, the game is now accessible exclusively for Android users via the Epic Games Store. Originally developed by Dong Nguyen and released in 2013, Flappy Bird became famous for its frustratingly simple yet captivating gameplay, until it was removed from app stores in 2014. Now, under the management of Flappy Bird Publishing, this beloved bird is flapping its way back into gamers’ hearts, blending nostalgia with fresh content tailored for both long-time fans and first-time players.

The updated release delivers the Classic mode that many remember, with its intuitive one-touch controls allowing pixel-perfect navigation through endless rows of pipes. Furthermore, a new Quest mode brings excitement by unlocking new worlds, each featuring unique themes and increasingly challenging barriers. The developers have also affirmed that frequent updates will be released throughout 2025, heralding new characters, worlds, and themes to maintain the game’s allure. Significantly, the team has confirmed that this version will steer clear of Web3 elements, choosing to support the game through advertisements and in-app purchases instead.

Jon David from Flappy Bird Publishing explained the rationale behind partnering with Epic, praising the platform’s developer-friendly terms and its player-centric approach. “Flappy Bird is here to stay, and only going to get bigger from here on out,” he declared. Now available on Android, Flappy Bird can be downloaded exclusively through the Epic Games Store.
