Flappy Bird Relaunches on Epic Games Store for Mobile

• Flappy Bird makes its comeback on mobile devices
• The iconic endless runner now available on Epic Games Store
• Currently exclusive to Android, with iOS release planned

In mobile gaming history, few titles have sparked as much excitement or debate as Flappy Bird. Launched in 2013, it became an instant hit, renowned for its addictive gameplay. Its return to mobile through the Epic Games Store is a surprising and welcome revival.

The Android version of Flappy Bird introduces fresh content to set it apart from the original. Players can chase high scores in the classic endless mode or explore new worlds and levels in Quest mode, with regular updates promised to keep the experience vibrant.

This rerelease steers clear of controversial Web3 features seen in a prior iteration, opting instead for monetization through ads and in-app purchases for helmets, which grant extra lives.

Flapping Forward

Over a decade after its debut, Flappy Bird feels almost nostalgic compared to today’s mobile gaming giants. It’s hard to fathom that this simple game once fueled wild rumors, including tales of disputes over shattered high scores.

Yet, many players still cherish Flappy Bird’s straightforward charm. Its arrival on the Epic Games Store could be a major win for the platform’s mobile presence. While weekly free games might not draw everyone, Flappy Bird’s return could truly elevate the store’s appeal to mobile gamers.
