Evaluation
GUNBIRD was a port of the 1994 arcade vertical-scrolling shooter, released on Steam on May 10, 2020. On October 15, 2025, the developer CITY CONNECTION officially announced that sales of the Steam version would end on October 31, 2025, due to the expiration of a licensing agreement. The game is no longer available for purchase on Steam. Existing owners can still play the game, and the developer noted that sales on other platforms would continue. No further content updates were ever announced for the Steam version — the game launched as a complete arcade port with only minor patches (an exit button addition and an achievement bug fix) in its early days. The developer's announcement made no mention of any planned updates or future content for Steam.
