Vancouver, British Columbia, November 18, 2025: Buffalo Buffalo is excited to announce the first "Quality of Life” update of many leading up to the game’s official launch! Featuring bug fixes and quality of life improvements, a fresh new Field Journal, a notification system to improve your shots, and a few more feathered friends.
Introducing the brand new Field Journal, a handy tool for all birdwatchers alike! With the Field Journal, players can now track the newly added daily challenges with varying mission types. By completing challenges, players will receive bottlecaps which can be exchanged for future goods and tools. Alongside daily missions, the new Field Journal also keeps track of past photographs. If you look even closer, you might be able to pick up some hints for our next update hidden in the journal. 🔍
Think you’ve caught a glimpse of every bird? Think again! This new update also introduces a handful of new birds. Be sure to keep an eye in the sky as new birds are coming to a neighbourhood near you. If you’re ever unsure of what you’re looking for, have a look at the list of birds in your area today via your Field Journal.
Alongside the Field Journal and new birds, we’ve added a real-time feedback system. Gone are the days of wondering if challenges were completed or if birds were too far for your lens. The real-time feedback system now gives immediate notifications.
Confused about the scoring? We recently added a new scoring system for all our pro Birders - each shot taken now has a star rating up to 3. Snap high quality pics to meet star ratings for daily challenges.
