Over One Million Copies Sold in a Week

Developed by Team Soda and published by Bilibili Games, the PVE top-down extraction shooter Escape from Duckovhas officially surpassed 1 million copies sold on Steam. The milestone was achieved in roughly one week after the game’s launch, marking one of the fastest-growing debuts among recent Chinese indie releases.

The game launched with a discounted price of ¥51.04 RMB, drawing huge attention from players attracted by its humorous premise and chaotic duck-themed combat. Since release, it has quickly climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Steam China best-selling chart.

Player Count Continues to Soar

Alongside its sales success, Escape from Duckov’s player numbers are still climbing. According to Steam statistics, the title’s peak concurrent player count has already exceeded 250,000, with more than 30,000 players currently online at the time of reporting.

These figures position the game among the most-played titles on Steam globally — an impressive feat for an independently developed PVE shooter centered around ducks and tactical extractions.

Developers Celebrate the “Million-Duck Milestone”

In a celebratory statement, the development team expressed heartfelt thanks to their growing community:

“Another milestone achieved! Duckov has now welcomed over one million duck buddies!
We sincerely thank every player — it’s your playtime, support, feedback, and encouragement that built this shining number. We’ll continue working hard to make the world of Duckov even more exciting and fun!”

The message’s humorous, community-driven tone perfectly matches the spirit of the game itself — playful, chaotic, and full of charm.

A New Symbol of China’s Indie Game Momentum

Escape from Duckov combines cartoon visuals, co-op extraction gameplay, and roguelike elements, offering a fresh twist on the shooter genre. Its rapid rise showcases the growing influence of Chinese indie developers on the global Steam market.

With Bilibili expanding its publishing portfolio beyond video platforms and into full-scale game distribution, this success cements the company’s position as one of China’s most promising new game publishers.
