"Flappy Bird Returns: Now on Epic Games Store for Mobile"

Authore: SarahUpdate:May 01,2025

In the annals of mobile gaming, few releases have achieved the fame and controversy of Flappy Bird. An instant sensation upon its release in 2013, it was hailed as one of the most addictive games of all time. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the highly anticipated return of Flappy Bird to mobile platforms via the Epic Games Storefront has generated significant excitement.

Flappy Bird for Android now offers a range of new content that sets it apart from the original version. Players can still attempt to beat their high scores in the timeless, endless Classic Mode, or they can venture into new worlds and levels in the newly introduced Quest mode, with regular updates and new additions promised.

This updated release is designed to steer clear of any Web3 elements that were previously controversial in another rerelease. Instead, it will be monetized through ads and in-app purchases for helmets, which grant extra lives.

However, many players hold a nostalgic appreciation for Flappy Bird's simplicity and straightforward gameplay. With this in mind, its availability on the Epic Games Store could be seen as a significant achievement for the platform on mobile. While the allure of weekly free games may not attract all new players, Flappy Bird could be the key to putting Epic Games on the map for a mobile audience.

While Flappy Bird is certainly a notable release, there are many other games that deserve attention. For those interested in exploring top releases not found on typical storefronts, be sure to check out our regular feature, Off the AppStore.
