Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

Note written 2026-08-22; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Duck Game is a chaotic 2-4 player local-multiplayer action game where players duel with absurd weapons and physics in fast rounds.

Duck Game has generated $4.6M lifetime revenue from 1.64M units at a $12.99 price point, with a 96.6% positive review score and remarkably durable local-multiplayer appeal. Despite zero developer activity for 51+ months, it maintains $1.87K/mo residual revenue, 50% still-playing rate, and consistent workshop engagement (75K items). The title is an evergreen couch-game asset with cult following and minimal support overhead; it's a watch-to-acquire candidate for a publisher seeking low-risk, high-retention multiplayer IP. Most realistic play: acquisition.

  • Risk: Entirely local-only design; no online play means no network topology risk but limits discovery and live-service runway.
  • Risk: 51+ months since last developer post and 52 months since last build update; engine and dependencies may require refresh to maintain Steam distribution compatibility.
  • Risk: Niche party-game category with seasonal volatility; 77 current players and 1.38-month gap since last discount suggests mature saturation.
