While the game might look like a simple and casual shooter at first, it quickly becomes intense and challenging as you progress. Learning the mechanics and aiming could take some time. Unfortunately, players still have to face this experience alone.

However, if you still want to experience Escape From Duckov with your friends, there's good news for you. The game supports mods through Steam Workshop, and the community is already developing a multiplayer mod.

Reddit user u/yesswu recently shared on r/EscapeFromDuckov that the closed beta for the online mod will begin on October 29, 2025. According to the post, there is no set limit on the number of players that can join a session, as long as the host’s hardware can handle it. However, it's worth noting that the mod will not support reviving your teammates and there's friendly fire as well.

That’s everything we know about the availability of multiplayer mode in this game. Make sure to keep an eye on the Steam Workshop and the official subreddit to stay updated on the multiplayer mod release.
