If you’re wondering what to play on your $700 PS5 Pro — Flappy Bird “triumphantly returns” to multiple platforms (?!)

What you need to know

• Flappy Bird is making a comeback and launching in Fall 2024 onto “multiple platforms” with an iOS and Android release planned for 2025.
• ‘The Flappy Bird Foundation’ are a group of fans leading the revival, and have acquired the rights to the game from Gametech Holdings LLC.
• The game creator famously hated the game and pulled it from mobile app stores over 10 years ago. 

As a tech enthusiast who remembers the good old days of flapping birds with nostalgic fondness, the news of Flappy Bird’s comeback has me both excited and slightly bewildered. It’s been a decade since we last tapped our screens into oblivion in pursuit of that elusive high score, and it feels like coming home to an old friend who’s had a facelift.

Brace yourselves, as I transport you back a decade. It was only yesterday when the sensationally addictive Flappy Bird game, known for causing global uproar, mysteriously vanished from both Android and Apple marketplaces. Yet, here we stand on the precipice of its grand comeback – more captivating, more refined, and, you guessed it, more exhilarating!

Flappy Bird in 120 FPS?

Could it be possible that Flappy Bird, which was recently hinted at following the reveal of the $700 PS5 Pro, might make its way to consoles? Might the PS5 Pro be the ideal platform for enjoying Flappy Bird at 120FPS (flaps per second)?

A fan passion project 

The Flappy Bird Foundation has obtained ownership of the game from Gametech Holding LLC, including rights to the original game and character Piou Piou vs. Cactus, which is said to have sparked the creation of Flappy Bird. A representative for the foundation expressed enthusiasm, stating, “It’s been a complicated, decade-long journey to reach this point, but we can’t wait to bring Flappy Bird back to the world again.
