Birdseed VR’s full release on Meta Quest 3 brings updates including multiplayer, new bird behaviors, and an in-game shop full of new gear and cosmetics.
The full release of the comical birdwatching and photography game Birdseed VR has left the nest, spread its wings, and come to roost on Meta Quest 3 headsets. With our quota for questionable avian metaphors met, let’s get on with the news.
For those not familiar, Birdseed VR is a cozy birdwatching and photography game in which you hang out in a forest and photograph silly and cute birds. It’s been out in Early Access for a few months, and I wrote my impressions of the game when it originally released in EA (you can read about it here).
In short, it’s a chill and charming little game where collecting birds, photographs of birds, and gear to better photograph birds is the core loop. You’ll listen to music, wait for new feathered friends to arrive, laugh at their silly behavior, and take 12 pictures a day with your limited stock of film.
The release of version 1.0 brings quite a few major updates to the game. To start, it patches the game’s multiplayer, allowing for birdwatching with up to three friends.
Then there’s the inclusion of Scout’s Store, a shop where you can spend in-game currency to buy new camera skins, lenses, and charms, as well as new frames, more film, and other cosmetics. You can also buy in-game currency with real-world money, though this is not required.
The full release doubles the number of birds in the game, as well as adding Super and Ultra Telephoto lenses, new field guides, and more.
Birdseed VR is out now on Quest 3 and 3S. It’s also coming to Steam VR sometime later this year.
