Popular Idle Game About Ducks ‘Placid Plastic Duck Simulator’ Has Soft Launched on iOS and Android via Netflix Games

I first heard of Placid Plastic Duck Simulator on TheGameDiscoverCo Newsletter back in December 2022. A “plastic duck game" exploded on Steam and it was another game priced very low on Steam to see a lot of success. I bought it, but didn’t get the DLC on Steam. I tried it out and found it quite relaxing, but I also haven’t spent too much time with it. Today, turbolento’s Placid Plastic Duck Simulator has soft launched on mobile through Netflix Games (as spotted by Sidlon in our Discord server). This is an interesting addition for Netflix as the game itself will do well on mobile in my opinion, but it is interesting in how Netflix is getting all kinds of games for its service. I remember seeing a Tweet from the official account responding to someone asking about a mobile port saying they would do it, but that read like a joke response. Good to see it become reality with this soft launch. Watch the Placid Plastic Duck Simulator launch trailer below:

If you’d like to try Placid Plastic Duck Simulator and have a Philippines account, you can grab it on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. Check it out on Steam here. It is unclear if the Netflix version has all the DLC available on Steam, but I’m happy to see that Placid Plastic Duck Simulator will be launching worldwide on mobile likely soon. Have you played it before on PC and will you be trying it out on mobile when it does launch worldwide?
