Battlefield 6 has posted some impressive numbers since launch, but right now, it looks like the game has some competition. While Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 won’t be out until next month, indie eggs-traction shooter Escape From Duckov is busy climbing the charts on Steam. For a brief time, the viral indie game had 152,207 concurrent players, beating Battlefield 6 during that time period with its concurrent-player count of 129,729 players.
Spotted by Dexerto, Escape From Duckov outshone Battlefield 6 during that period before the current Steam status quo reasserted itself. The game has proven to be a big hit with players since launch, and what makes the achievement even more impressive is that the duck-themed parody of Escape From Tarkov is the product of the five-person team known as Team Soda. At the time of writing, Escape From Duckov has peaked at 257,952 concurrent players on Steam.
Over 1 million copies of the game were sold during its first five days, and Team Soda has been working to fine-tune and improve the experience. A recent patch added a dose of reality to the game by discouraging players from eating poop in the game, and mod support has been added.
