"Have you ever gone duck hunting? It's terrifying. Somehow those birds are always watching, ready, hiding just out of plain sight ready to get you. Mmm. On second thought I might have that experience confused with something else. Regardless, murderous animals are funny and horrifying, and it seems a lot of folks on Steam are in agreement as duck-based indie shooter Escape From Duckov has just pulled ahead of EA's big AAA shooter Battlefield 6 in concurrent players."
"Released on October 16, 2025, Escape From Duckov is a solo survival extraction shooter featuring ducks with guns who aren't afraid to use them. It has that lovely charm that many indie games tend to get when they fuse an otherwise serious, well-executed genre with a not-so-serious premise: in this case, ducks with guns. And it would seem ( h/t Dexerto) that us extraction diehards or those who just enjoy silliness aren't the only ones drawn to these funny birds;"
Escape From Duckov released on October 16, 2025. The game is a solo survival extraction shooter starring gun-wielding ducks and blending serious gameplay with a humorous premise. The indie title combines a well-executed extraction formula with playful charm, attracting both extraction fans and players seeking silliness. The game climbed into the top five most-played titles on Steam and recently outpaced Battlefield 6 in concurrent players. Battlefield 6 has a new season approaching, so the lead could be temporary. The game's rapid popularity may indicate growing interest in extraction shooters ahead of other launches like Arc Raiders.
