[h3]You’ve been sharing your thoughts with us, and we’ve been listening. Thanks to your feedback, the Online mode just got a bunch of quality-of-life upgrades:

🪶In-game “Your Friends” list - set up games quicker with your favourite Birders!

• “Your Friends” option in the Online menu allows you to add other Wingspan players to your list by typing in their in-game nicknames.
  
• The list displays two sections: your platform friends and Wingspan in-game friends.
  
• Check the star for your favourite in-game friends to display them at the top of the “In-game Friends” list.
  
• When setting up a custom online game, use the “Invite a friend” option to easily add your friends to the match - either in bulk or one by one.
  

🤖AI upgrade for all online games:

• Now, whenever a player times out or forfeits in a matchmaking or a custom online game, AI will step in their place!
  
• In the matchmaking games, this means the remaining players can finish the match and gain Karma!
  

🌺Oceania Expansion in the Duet Matchmaking - enjoy the sweet nectar with both Asia and Oceania Expansions enabled!

🔔Online Notifications - never miss your move again! You’ll now receive in-game alerts when:

• it’s your turn in another matchmaking game, and/or
  
• there’s only 1 minute left before your turn times out.
  
• You can tweak these notifications in the game settings anytime.
  

🐛Bug report visibility is now an option that can be easily changed in Settings.

We hope these updates make your time in Wingspan even smoother, more fun, and more Birder-friendly. Thank you for helping us make the game better!
