The next version of Flash Player is available for immediate download.  In today's release we've updated Flash Player with a critical security fix.  We recommend all users update to the latest version.

Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB15-03)

New Features for Flash Player 16:

  • Stage3D - Standard Constrained Profile

In version 14 of the Runtime we added the new Standard profile to desktop systems.  This improvement in 3D graphics brought massive improvements to both Flash Player and AIR.  In Version 15 we expanded that to mobile devices in AIR. 


In Flash Player 16 we've added a new Standard Constrained profile.  Like Baseline Constrained, Standard Constrained targets older and lower powered GPUs on both desktop and mobile devices.

While Standard profile reached a little over 20% of all iOS devices, the new Standard Constrained profile can now reach more than 85% of iOS devices!  Developers can access this new mode by using the new STANDARD_CONSTRAINED constant in Context3DProfile.  The chart below breaks down the differences between the different profiles that are currently available.

  • PPAPI Installers for Windows and Mac

We're pleased to announce that we now have PPAPI installers for the standard version of Flash Player for Windows and Mac.  Previously, this version of the Player was available only as an integrated component of Google Chrome.  With the introduction of these installers, Flash Player is now available for all Chromium based browsers using the PPAPI interface.  Please note that these installers are not required nor used by Google Chrome.  Chrome will continue to include Flash Player without requiring any additional installation.

Customers can download the PPAPI based installer from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer or https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions

Developers interested in using the PPAPI debuggers can download the installers from the Flash Player Support Center.

For complete information please see our release notes.
