Dune Awakening Live Player Count
Dune: Awakening is an open-world survival MMO developed by Funcom, set on the desert planet Arrakis. Released June 10, 2025 (with early access from June 5 for deluxe editions), players scavenge, craft bases, pilot ornithopters, contend with giant sandworms, sandstorms and rival factions in dynamic PvE/PvP encounters.
This title stands out through its high-stakes desert survival mechanics—losing gear permanently to sandworms, spice-induced abilities, and large-scale guild warfare reminiscent of Conan Exiles but on a much grander scale.
Fans of survival MMOs may enjoy similar experiences like Dune: Spice Wars, Conan Exiles, and Mortal Shell 2, which blend resource-based survival with strategic combat and base-building elements.
Currently available on Windows PC via Steam, it supports hundreds of concurrent players—with a peak of over 142,000 on launch day and steady live counts around 78,000—while Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 ports are slated for release in late 2026.
