Dune: Awakening falls just shy of Steam's top 100 as it nets 142,000 players on its first proper launch day

It's Dune June and Funcom's new survival MMO—Dune: Awakening—is finally here. Actually, it's been here since June 5, when people who forked over for its advanced access version got into the game, but now it's really here: Funcom is letting the hoi polloi in, even those who spent a mere $50 on it. What's the world coming to?

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's still going strong: at time of writing, 110,000 players are skipping about Arrakis.
