FAQ

Not yet — it’s invite-only on the web right now. The App Store and Google Play apps land in October: download early, link your gamertag, and be ready for Duck or Beef’s launch on Nov 19, 2026.

Civilian is free. Hustler is $4.99, once. Shot Caller is $19.99 if you’re already a Hustler, or $24.99 with Hustler included — a crew plus five seats to gift. No subscriptions, ever.

No. A six-digit code by email, or sign in with Google.

Type your gamertag or PlayStation online ID, check that the card that comes up is you, and tap THAT’S ME. That’s it — your trophies and achievements start syncing straight away. You only prove the account is yours with a short code when it matters: to join a public board, play for a prize, or if someone else claims the same ID.

The app gives you a four-digit code. On Xbox, put it in your Bio (Profile → Customize profile → Bio). On PlayStation, put it in your About (Profile → Edit Profile → About). Save, then tap Verify. The code works for 15 minutes, and you can delete it straight after. Your Bio or About has to be visible to everyone while we check it. Whoever proves an ID with the code keeps it.

One per account.

Beef means you accept the challenge. Duck means you avoid it at all costs. Swipe right to beef, left to duck.

Nothing — a duck is never a penalty. But every duck on a fade goes on the record, who ducked you and who you ducked, and the other player is told.

Not for seven days after you duck them. Block ends it for good.

No. Everyone has a daily limit — 3 fades a day for a Civilian, 10 for a Hustler. You choose who can run a fade on you: anyone, players you have eyes on and your people, or nobody. You get your first 3 fade alerts each day; the rest wait in one summary. And one tap lets every waiting fade expire — nobody is told you ducked.

Pick a character when you sign up — 22 to choose from, or keep it low-key with the shades. It’s free for everyone, and you can switch any time from your Profile.

100% of the base game’s trophies. Add-ons show, but they don’t count toward it.

Every time you open the app, it catches up. Behind that, Hustlers sync every hour and can hit Sync Now; Civilians every six hours while they’re active, less often when they’re not.

Never. An unearned secret is “Hidden achievement” until you earn it — and receipts never print achievement names.

A share card that proves who was ahead, stamped and dated. It never lies and it never prints a trophy name.

Yes — the QR on every receipt opens it on the web.

Up to six players, one crew per player. Crews beef other crews and run the crew tier of Main Character.

$19.99 once if you’re a Hustler; $24.99 with Hustler included. Five seats to gift — nothing for them to renew.

No. Everything is paid once.

Everything is paid once — no subscription, nothing to renew. Crew seats: no refunds once an invitee has joined; unclaimed seats are voided.

Yes. Your handle is your code. Every Hustler you put on pays you $1, every Shot Caller $4 — once, when they sign up. Paid every other Friday over $25 after a 30-day hold. Get paid →

No. Anyone can put people on, from day one.

Every other Friday, once you’re over $25, after a 30-day hold. 18+ to cash out.

The $1 or $4 comes back out of your balance.

No.

Yes — inside a beef. Open The Record → TAUNTS to see one thread per opp or crew beef. Send a preset taunt or type a short message, react, reply, or unsend within 60 seconds. You can’t message strangers. Long-press any message to report it, and block anyone from their profile.

In the app — it acts immediately and across every surface.

No. Duck or Beef is an independent fan-made companion app.
