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.
Meanwhile, EA probably won't be losing any sleep because of the game. Battlefield 6 has sold 7 million copies across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S so far, and it reached a peak concurrent player count of 747,440 users on Steam during its launch week.
Battlefield 6's first season will begin on October 28, and it's rumored that a battle royale mode could have a surprise launch as early as next week.
