Flappy Bird is coming back to Android and iOS
With new skins, progression, and game modes
The age of Flappy Bird was an easier time. Prior to the current deluge of live-service games, the mobile gaming segment started pushing what was possible for tinier form factors. None, of course, was as simple as the aforementioned Flappy Bird. Though the hit game disappeared as quickly as it rose to fame, the game is now ready to run it back in a more modern setting.
Months after the game first launched in 2013, Flappy Bird quickly exploded in popularity. Gamers everywhere kept trying to up their high score. Out of a concern for everyone’s addiction, the game’s creator Dong Nguyen took the game down, causing devices with the game installed to skyrocket in resale value.
Now, ten years later, a new group is resurrecting the original game. Flappy Bird is returning to Android and iOS soon. Plus, instead of just the basic premise, the resurrected version will have new skins, progressions, and game modes.
To be clear, the upcoming version seemingly does not involve the original creator. Rather, a new group calling themselves the Flappy Bird Foundation acquired the trademark for the original game and has started developing a new game under that banner.
That said, the upcoming game is an interesting addition. Technically, it’s a fan-made game to join the countless others already out in the market, but, because it’s flying under the old trademark, it’s also a comeback.

AMD to bring FSR Upscaling 4.1 to RDNA 3 GPUs this July
Better visuals for players on PC, consoles soon
AMD has announced through Senior Vice President and General Manager Jack Huynh that FSR 4.1 upscaling technology is coming to RDNA 3 GPUs this July.
Huynh confirmed that Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, among other older graphics architectures, will receive the update in July. Older RDNA 2 cards will also benefit in early 2027.
The decision directly benefits budget-conscious PC gamers and handheld console users who have opted out of expensive hardware upgrades. Instead of having to purchase new GPUs, they will simply have to download the software driver.
FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) 4.1 marks a major shift for AMD. It introduces a machine learning-powered algorithm that replaces traditional analytical upscaling.
By updating their software drivers, users can access cleaner image reconstruction, reduced motion ghosting, and better performance with FSR Upscaling 4.1 across more than 300 supported gaming titles on their RDNA 3 graphics.
Beyond desktop players, the rollout carries significant implications for the wider gaming ecosystem.
Devices like the ROG Ally X and Lenovo Legion Go run on RDNA 3 integrated graphics. This means handheld gamers will see immediate frame rate and visual fidelity improvements this summer.
Furthermore, current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Valve’s Steam Deck, rely on RDNA 2 architecture. This means AMD’s early 2027 roadmap lays the groundwork for massive visual optimization across the entire console market.
