Actually, it&#8217;s been here since June 5, when people who forked over for its advanced access version got into the game, but now it&#8217;s <em>really<\/em> here: Funcom is letting the hoi polloi in, even those who spent a mere $50 on it. What&#8217;s the world coming to?<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Dune: Awakening hit its highest-ever concurrent player peak in the immediate aftermath of its full launch, topping out at 142,050 players at the same time on June 10. It&#8217;s still going strong: at time of writing, 110,000 players are skipping about Arrakis.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a strong showing, though it puts the game at 119 in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/charts\/?sort=peak\" target=\"_blank\">SteamDB&#8217;s all-time concurrent player rankings<\/a>, just between Clair Obscur and the open beta for New World: Aeternum. So not even in the top 100. Dismal failure. Funcom should probably just pack it in.<\/p>\n<p>Or not. 142,000 players online simultaneously seems pretty good for a game that hit on a Tuesday, and I&#8217;d be flabbergasted if Dune didn&#8217;t easily pip that record when everyone&#8217;s home this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m curious to see how high it&#8217;ll go. As I wrote in my <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/after-7-hours-dune-awakening-might-be-the-mix-of-survival-and-rpg-that-finally-wins-me-over-to-the-genre\/\">Dune: Awakening preview<\/a> several hundred years ago (January), it&#8217;s the first and only survival-y, crafting-y game to actually capture and hold my attention, and I reckon I&#8217;m not alone in that. Our Chris Livingston has been enjoying the game in his <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-review-in-progress\/\">Dune review in progress<\/a>, and even our online editor Fraser Brown\u2014avowed enemy of survival games\u2014is enjoying himself when he&#8217;s not going slowly mad in an endless dungeon.<\/p>\n<p>So I think this Dune thing has legs, which is kind of weird given it&#8217;s a psychedelic tale about space-Algerian freedom fighters let by a warlord high out of his gourd on worm excrement, but who am I to condemn what the kids are into these days? All I know is it&#8217;s a pretty fun game to drink people&#8217;s blood in, and it seems over 100,000 people agree with me.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"71558c10-fa86-4944-b23c-bbeaa66a929f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Dune: Awakening trainer locations\" data-dimension48=\"Dune: Awakening trainer locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:900px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"d9phxyV8J2DLobQP25c2LQ\" name=\"dunedude\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/dune-awakening-falls-just-shy-of-steams-top-100-as-it-nets-142000-players-on-its-first-proper-launch-day.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-trainer-locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"71558c10-fa86-4944-b23c-bbeaa66a929f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Dune: Awakening trainer locations\" data-dimension48=\"Dune: Awakening trainer locations\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Dune: Awakening trainer locations<\/strong><\/a>: Learn new skills<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dune: Awakening starting tips<\/strong><\/a>: Conquer Arrakis<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-fast-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dune: Awakening fast-travel<\/strong><\/a>: Take a ride<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-unlock-research-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dune: Awakening research menu<\/strong><\/a>: Locked or unlocked?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-best-class-mentor-homeworld-caste\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dune: Awakening classes<\/strong><\/a>: Which should you pick?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-how-to-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dune: Awakening repair<\/strong><\/a>: How to fix your kit<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-falls-just-shy-of-steams-top-100-as-it-nets-142-000-players-on-its-first-proper-launch-day\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Dune June and Funcom&#8217;s new survival MMO\u2014Dune: Awakening\u2014is finally here.
