Escape from Duckov: the duck extraction shooter that blew up on Steam
Escape from Duckov is a top-down extraction shooter where you play as a heavily armed duck in the post-apocalyptic world of Duckov. Developed by Team Soda (Bilibili's internal studio) and released on October 16, 2025, it rocketed up the Steam charts almost instantly: a million copies in its first week, three million by early November, and a peak of over 300,000 concurrent players. The loop is simple and addictive — drop into a location, fill your backpack with loot, fight off enemies and other dangers, and extract alive to keep your haul. Here we sell the full game as a Steam gift: you get it delivered straight into your Steam library.
What the game is and why people love it
In short, it's a charming take on the extraction-shooter genre — the kind of game where every raid can end with you losing everything you carried. Except instead of grim mercenaries you get ducks, and instead of bleak realism you get a cute cartoon look from a top-down view. Under the friendly surface sits an honest risk/reward loop: you bring gear into a run, and if you die, you lose what you were carrying. A successful run pays you back with loot, new weapons and resources to grow.
You control a customizable duck character, carry two firearms with attachments, juggle your inventory, take on quests and scavenge across the different corners of Duckov. Between runs you return to your own bunker — your base, which you gradually build up and upgrade. The long-term goal is to gather everything you need and, in the end, build a ship to break out of this duck-shaped chaos.
Gameplay: raids, loot and the bunker
The gameplay revolves around three things. First, the runs: you pick a location, prep your gear and head out to find loot while gunning down enemies. Second, loot and inventory: weapons, ammo, attachments, consumables and valuable resources you have to carry all the way to the extraction point. Third, the bunker base: you haul your valuables back here, upgrade your shelter, craft and prepare for the next run. The deeper you go, the richer the locations, the tougher the enemies and the more valuable the loot.
- Top-down view and clean controls — easy to pick up, with real depth.
- Two attachment-ready weapons at once — build loadouts for your style.
- Backpack management and the risk of losing loot — that signature genre tension.
- Bunker progression as a long-term goal between raids.
How you receive the game: a Steam gift
We deliver Escape from Duckov not as a key but as a Steam gift through a bot. That means you provide two things at checkout: your Steam friend invite link (it looks like s.team/p/...) and your Steam account region. After that it's almost automatic: the bot adds itself to your friends, sends the gift, and leaves your friends list once delivery is done. You don't need to accept the friend request manually — you just need friend requests allowed in your profile settings.
An important note about Steam Guard: it is not required. The gift arrives fine on an account without Steam Guard enabled — handy if you'd rather not set up extra protection for a single purchase. Accepting the gift doesn't require any existing game or activity on the account.
Region and ownership — the two key conditions
Two conditions decide whether delivery succeeds, and both are simple. First: your Steam account region must match the gift region. If the regions differ, Steam simply won't let you accept the gift — that's not our rule, it's how Steam's gifting system works. So enter your region honestly at checkout. Second: the game must not already be in the library of the account receiving the gift. Steam doesn't allow a gift to be accepted for a game you already own — it's the number one reason a gift fails to go through. If you want to gift it to a friend, give the invite link and region of their account that doesn't have Duckov yet.
How long delivery takes
The gift usually arrives within a couple of minutes of placing the order — the bot is fast. We don't promise a hard timing: rare hiccups happen, as with any service like this, and in those cases we do our best to sort it out. But under normal conditions it really is quick, and all that's left for you is to click “Accept Gift”.

If the loot-extraction genre clicks with you, take a look at other titles too: the hardcore originator of the genre Escape from Tarkov, the co-op space horror Lethal Company, and the iconic mining-under-fire of Deep Rock Galactic. They're all about risk, loot and nerves — each with its own mood.
Purchase in a nutshell
You buy the full version of Escape from Duckov, provide your invite link and account region, pay — and receive the gift in Steam. Region matches, the game isn't in your library, no Steam Guard needed. After that it's just beak, gun and a run for loot.
