About the Game

Birdshot is a third‑person upland and waterfowl hunting game that captures the excitement of flushing birds in open fields and calling mallards into a marsh blind. Move through atmospheric landscapes, follow your dog, and take fast, instinctive shots as pheasant and quail burst into the air. When you head to the marsh, settle into your blind, work the call, and drop mallards as they swing, cup, and commit.

Every hunt is built around clean shooting, quick reactions, and the satisfaction of making the right shot at the right moment. Before each hunt begins, you can choose whether to enable aim assist, making Birdshot more accessible for players who want smoother target acquisition. When aim assist is turned on, quail coveys automatically switch targets as they flush, helping you stay locked onto fast‑moving birds. During duck hunts, gamepad players can tap RB to switch between nearby targets, giving you quick control as mallards pass the blind.

Earn score bonuses for accuracy, distance, and bird size, and trigger slow‑motion during clutch opportunities to line up the perfect hit. Players who explore thoroughly may even discover an Easter Egg that unlocks an extended‑mag automatic shotgun, offering a fun twist on traditional upland and waterfowl shooting.

Birdshot focuses on the pure fun of hunting — simple, replay able, and skill‑driven.
