A plucky ducky of a horror game is arriving in 2027, with QUIET serving up its own brand of alien-inspired terror. QUIET has been building noise for a while, so much so that it’s reported that over a quarter of a million players tuned in to try out the game’s debut playtest.
You might have caught the very special Insider Access showing off a certain QUIET reveal trailer! We’ve been spitting feathers for QUIET‘s first playtest, and evidently, so have many others.
Horror Game ‘QUIET’ Hits 250,000 Users in First Playtest
The official numbers are in: QUIET’s first playtest recorded 271,132 players!
QUIET is a typical 1-4-player horror game where every sound you make is heard in the environment, and you need to avoid alerting the homeowner whilst helping your crash-landed ducks escape their temporary new prison.

QUIET had ‘more than 270,000 players across 148 countries,’ and a lot of stats and vital data were recorded from the first worldwide hands-on with the horror title.
Here are even more stats about the playtest:
- 350,403 players signed up for the playtest.
- 271,132 players downloaded and took part in the playtest together.
- Players from 148 countries around the world participated.
- 800+ Twitch streams went live during the playtest.
- 420+ videos were produced.
- Over 820 thoughtful player survey responses were collected.
Steam lists QUIET for a Q1 2027 launch, so hopefully there will be another playtest between now and then. You’d be quackers to miss out on any subsequent playtest sessions.
