AFK Journey

Goose Goose Duck

AFK Journey launched in early 2024 from Farlight Games, building on the popularity of the AFK Arena franchise. It is a cross-platform, casual strategy/adventure RPG with significant mobile presence and active social media. Given its newness, high profile in the mobile gaming space, and ongoing updates/events, daily active players are likely robust, with around 150,000 being a reasonable estimate at mid-2024.

Goose Goose Duck is a social deduction party game released in 2021, similar to Among Us, which had significant popularity during its first year and retains an active global player base, particularly in regions like Asia. However, being a party game, player retention over time is moderate but not at massive scales seen in major MMOs, though it holds steady with tens of thousands of daily active players two years post-launch.
