Escape From Duckov Tops Battlefield 6 on Steam After 1 Million-Sale Breakout

The indie shooter’s solo take on extraction play, backed by rapid updates, is drawing strong player praise.

Overview

  • Publisher Bilibili and developer Team Soda said sales passed one million five days after the October 16 launch on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Mac App Store.
  • New tracking cited in fresh reports shows 152,207 concurrent players for Duckov versus 129,729 for Battlefield 6 during the same period, placing the indie ahead in active users.
  • Earlier in the week, the game ranked among Steam’s most played, with reported peak concurrents ranging from about 221,963 to 255,556.
  • Steam user reception is overwhelmingly positive, with review scores reported around 95% to 96%.
  • Less than a day after announcing the milestone, Team Soda released a patch that reduced the Poop item’s Energy and Hydration values, silenced dog footsteps, added an injury indicator, and let players dismantle orange headphones.
