The game is free-to-play, and Cirulli said he doesn't want to make money off "something he [didn't] invent." In May 2014, he released a free version of the game for iOS and Android. The game 2048 thus became a viral hit. Since the source code is available, many have made additions to the original game such as leaderboards, an undo feature, and improved touchscreen reproducibility.

Tips and tricks
1. 2048 is so easy to play, you might get so used to the game itself that you just don't pay attention to what you're doing. That's not a good idea. Take your time - there is no penalty for thinking. Likewise, try to anticipate where new blocks may appear and how to implement them. Kind of like playing chess.
2. Orient yourself to the corners. To win the game, you should have a certain strategy. If you don't have it, you most likely won't score more than 512. So a good strategy is to always keep your highest value tile in one of the corners. Just pick one corner and align all your tiles. It's not as easy as it sounds, but you can master it quickly. To stop the tiles with the highest number from leaving the "king seat", try to pack the tiles around it. Learn this simple strategy and you will soon reach 1024 and even win the 2048 game!
3. After placing the highest value of the tile in the lower right corner, do not move it. To make sure it doesn't move, you must always fill the last row by pressing the down arrow so that using the LEFT and Right Arrows does not move the highest value of the tiles. Basically, this is the most important part of the game of 2048 - keep the highest tile in the corner and don't move it.
