Buffalo Buffalo has announced that their cozy birdwatching VR game Birdseed will receive its full 1.0 release in March 2026, bringing with it online co-op multiplayer and a host of new features for virtual nature enthusiasts.
The standout addition is online co-op functionality, which will allow players to explore the game’s relaxing forest environments together. Friends will be able to chat whilst photographing birds, tackle daily challenges as a team, or simply enjoy the peaceful virtual wilderness side by side.
Alongside multiplayer features, the 1.0 release will introduce Scout’s Shop, a premium cosmetics store offering camera skins, viewfinder charms, and other customisation options. Buffalo Buffalo has emphasised that these items will remain purely cosmetic, with no impact on gameplay mechanics. The update will also include new telephoto lenses for capturing distant birds, additional bird species to photograph, and the foundation for future seasonal events featuring themed cosmetics and challenges.
Birdseed VR is currently available in Early Access on Quest 3, allowing players to experience the core birdwatching gameplay ahead of the full release. The game positions itself as a relaxing escape into nature, focusing on the meditative aspects of wildlife photography without competitive pressure.
