Monster Couch is giving Wingspan players plenty to look forward to this summer! The studio has announced a brand-new lineup of downloadable Bird Packs for the award-winning digital board game, with the first release having already arrived on June 15.
Leading the flock is Wingspan Bird Pack: British Birds, a new expansion focused on bird species found throughout the United Kingdom. The DLC launches across Steam, GOG, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, and Android on the same day, making it an easy pickup no matter where you play!
A Fresh Batch of Birds
The new Bird Pack series has been designed with longtime Wingspan fans in mind. Across six planned packs, players will get access to 150 additional birds in total, with each expansion introducing 25 new species complete with their own abilities and strategic effects.
British Birds kicks things off with a collection inspired by the wildlife of the British Isles. Some of these birds have never appeared in Wingspan Digital before, giving returning players new combinations to experiment with and fresh strategies to build around.
As expected, Monster Couch is also putting a lot of care into presentation. Each bird comes with authentic sound recordings, and every pack will include its own exclusive player portrait to unlock.
More Regions on the Way
British Birds is only the start of a much larger rollout.
Monster Couch confirmed that five more Bird Packs will launch over time, each centred around regions already featured within Wingspan’s existing content. Future expansions will introduce birds from Asia, Continental Europe, New Zealand, and North America, adding even more variety to the game’s ever-growing roster.
For players who enjoy collecting every addition, there will also be a Wingspan Bird Packs: Season Pass available on Steam. The pass bundles together all six packs at a discounted price, with content unlocking gradually as each DLC releases.
It’s a smart approach for a game like Wingspan, especially considering how much the community enjoys discovering new bird synergies and experimenting with different habitat setups. Adding smaller themed packs instead of one huge expansion also gives players a steady stream of fresh content throughout the year.
Keeping Wingspan Active
Wingspan has stayed remarkably popular since its digital release thanks to its relaxing pace, strong multiplayer support, and faithful adaptation of the original tabletop game. Monster Couch has continued to support it with expansions and updates over the years, and these new Bird Packs look set to continue that momentum.
The smaller format could also make these DLCs more approachable for casual players. Rather than learning hundreds of new cards at once, each pack offers a manageable set of additions that can still shake up strategies in meaningful ways.
For fans of the physical board game, the Bird Packs are also an interesting way to spotlight species that may not have made the cut previously. The British Birds collection in particular should be an easy sell for UK players who want to see some familiar wildlife represented in-game.
Pricing and Release Details
The Wingspan Bird Packs: Season Pass will be available on Steam for $24.99 USD, granting access to all six upcoming packs as they release.
With more birds, new abilities, extra portraits, and plenty of fresh strategies on the horizon, Wingspan players are going to have a busy year ahead!
