Return of the Iconic Game
The beloved side-scrolling arcade game, Flappy Bird, is now available once again for Android users after a 12-year hiatus. Gamers can now download it for free from the Epic Games Store, marking a significant return of the game that once captivated millions around the world.
Upcoming Versions and New Features
In 2025, both Android and iOS users can expect a ‘revamped’ version of Flappy Bird, according to the official website and store listing. This latest iteration for Android includes new characters, challenges, and worlds, ensuring a fresh yet familiar experience for players.
The Rise and Fall of Flappy Bird
Originally released in 2013 by Vietnamese indie developer Dong Nguyen, Flappy Bird quickly became a sensation thanks to its simple yet addictive gameplay and graphics reminiscent of classic Mario games. The game amassed over 50 million downloads during its peak. However, its success was short-lived; Nguyen pulled the game from app stores in February 2014, citing that it had “ruined his life” despite reportedly earning $50,000 a day.
Trademark Troubles and Unofficial Reboots
In 2024, Flappy Bird faced trademark issues when Nguyen lost rights to Gametech Holdings, which led to an unofficial reboot titled “The Flappy Bird Foundation.” This version was criticized for incorporating cryptocurrency, a move that was poorly received by fans.
Nguyen’s Official Stance
Nguyen has officially distanced himself from the unofficial reboot, making it clear in a message on X that he has “nothing to do with their game,” and emphasizing that he hasn’t sold any rights or endorsed any cryptocurrency involvement.
Game Features and System Requirements
In its latest web2-only format, players can enjoy Classic and Mission modes, navigating Flappy through pipes and obstacles across new worlds. The updated game requires Android 6.0 or higher and has a download size of approximately 129 MB. An iOS version is currently in development, with plans for additional platforms yet to be announced.
