Vancouver, British Columbia, February 12th, 2026: Buffalo Buffalo is excited to announce that Birdseed VR has a brand new demo during the February Steam Next Fest! Featuring an updated demo for SteamVR with the telephoto lens, new birds to capture, and more.

Introducing the telephoto lens, which allows you to use earned bottlecaps to upgrade your lens and get even better shots.

You’ll also notice a brand new Backpack tab of your Journal, which will help you store your lenses and future equipment. Use this tab to sort and filter as you unlock more things to keep track of!

New birds have arrived! Unlock Field Guides in the Equipment store to reveal new daily birds to your spawn chances.
