It also allowed up to 16 players to join in the fun. It introduced specific roles for players, as well as a host of different game modes. The rather odd social deduction game does deserve credit, though, for the way it improved on Among Us' rather repetitive formula. Goose Goose Duck even managed to overtake the popularity of Among Us, which would rank at number 19 on this list, with a peak of 447,476 concurrent players. It reached its peak concurrent player count on January 12, 2023.
However, it wasn't until early in 2023 when Goose Goose Duck's popularity suddenly soared, thanks to a hugely popular Chinese streamer who played the game. It's plain to see that the latter served as heavy inspiration for the bird-based game, which also sees players work together to complete tasks while also trying to remove the imposters. Goose Goose Duck released in 2021, right after the success of Among Us.
