We've received a duck-ton of questions from players since we announced DUCKSIDE early in April and since our recent beta ended, so today we're going to answer some of the most common questions that have been filling our inboxes of late!
What is DUCKSIDE?
Imagine DayZ or Rust but you're a duck. DUCKSIDE is a persistent world survival game with PVP, PVE, crafting, base building and hat wearing ducks, wielding weapons.
Is this a real game?
The game is as real as the feathers on your wings, or if you’re one of those unsettling featherless creatures, the tears of joy that fill your eyes after witnessing our wonderful trailer or having played the previous beta.
In short, yes, this is a very real game.

Is there anything new in the June 6th Beta?
The beta will include significant balancing adjustments and other improvements alongside a number of new features, cosmetics, and more. We have even more major updates planned to come to the game over the course of the beta too, so stay tuned for news!
How long will the beta stay open?
We are still yet to decide on the length of the playtest, but we’ll have more news on this soon.
I am a content creator, is it possible to get access before the beta?
You can contact our Community Manager TinyBuild-Jay on Discord or via a DM on the community hub with a link to your channel and we will see what we can arrange! No promises however.
Which servers will be available in the beta? Will custom servers be an option?
We will have servers in Europe, USA, LATAM and Asia and are looking to expand these options based on the interest for the playtest.
Will it be released for consoles?
We are focusing on the Windows version for the time being, but we would like to allow as many players as possible to enjoy the game, regardless of platform, so we’ll cross that bridge further down the line.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have about the game in the comments thread, we'll update the FAQ with our answers!
