Vancouver, British Columbia, April 30th, 2026: Buffalo Buffalo is excited to announce that Birdseed VR 1.0 has officially landed! The full version of the game is now out on Meta Quest, with complete social multiplayer, new lenses and cameras, and a fully stocked Scout’s Store awaiting your arrival. Check out our brand new launch trailer, released today!
Here’s everything that’s new in 1.0:
Multiplayer is here
Birdseed 1.0 adds new bug fixes and patches to the multiplayer update. Enjoy birdwatching with up to 3 friends! Join and create lobbies with the new room code feature. Simply input your friend’s code to hop into their forest.
Scout’s Store is open!
Scout’s Store has just received a new shipment of goods. Personalize your birdwatching experience with new lens skins, camera charms, polaroid frames, and more in the premium store. Birdseed VR is never pay-to-win, but Scout is around if you want a new look for your birding adventure!
Bird behaviours will feel more real
You may have heard that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but did you know that birds can still learn new tricks? The 1.0 release brings in new animations and gives birds more attitude. Birds now peck, perch, and poop (yup, you heard that right) — be on the lookout for any sleepy birbs falling asleep on the job! This new update also introduces more naturally flowing flight paths based on real-life bird patterns. Be sure to keep a sharp eye out for new bird behaviours!
Earn new rewards from progression
When you discover and document all of a bird’s behaviours, you’ll earn bonus equipment and cosmetics! Track them as you explore the forest in your Life List. Some birds require different behaviours, so make sure you’re keeping track! We’ve also introduced weekly challenges in your Journal, which you can collect by signing in throughout the week and completely daily challenges. You can also unlock special rewards when completing weekly challenges in your Trail Pass (available with the Day 1 Patch).
More equipment, more birds, more fun!
Unlock the brand new Super and Ultra Telephoto lenses to document never before seen birds at farther distances. Use the new equipment to capture exotic birds in Field Guides 3-5.
Early Bird Bundle goodies are now in your bag
All redeemables purchased in Early Access are now in your Inventory! For those who want to still purchase the bundles, they are still available in Scout’s Store for a new post-launch price.
