Indie shooter Escape From Duckov overtakes Battlefield 6 on Steam

by

Escape From Duckov and Battlefield 6 are worlds apart – one is a small, independent game full of fast-paced action, while the other is a major, big-budget release. Surprisingly, the smaller game is actually proving more popular.

Battlefield 6 quickly became a hit, attracting over 747,000 players at the same time on Steam. This impressive launch demonstrates the continued popularity and strength of the Battlefield franchise.

Escape From Duckov, a game created by the small indie team at Team Soda, has quickly become a surprising success. Its unique mix of quick-paced action and silly duck-themed battles has generated a lot of buzz online. What began as a small, experimental project is now more popular than even Battlefield 6.

Escape From Duckov has more players than Battlefield 6

Escape From Duckov is now more popular than Battlefield 6 on Steam, recently reaching 152,207 players at the same time, compared to Battlefield 6’s 129,729, according to SteamDB.

It’s really impressive that this small, independent game did better than one of the year’s biggest shooting games, and it proves how quickly a popular new game can become a hit.

Both games remain incredibly popular, and while Battlefield 6 currently has more players overall, Duckov is also thriving. Though Battlefield 6 has reached a much higher peak player count in the past, the gap between them isn’t as significant right now – and that could change in the future.

The competition isn’t finished yet. Battlefield 6’s first season launches on October 28th, and we can expect a significant increase in players at that time. However, as of right now, Escape From Duckov remains the game with the most active players, demonstrating the strong appeal of well-made indie adventures.
