Dune’s New Multiplayer RPG Just Broke A Major PC Gaming Record

Funcom

Despite launching into a PC-exclusive advanced access period just one day ago, the survival MMORPG Dune Awakening is off to a pretty colossal start. Not only has the game pulled in nearly 100,000 players but it’s earned a very positive rating from early adopters in spite of some all-too-common launch day woes.

In its first 24 hours, Dune Awakening has reached a peak concurrent player count of 93,634, according to Steam DB. This doesn’t give us a clear picture of how well the game has sold, as more players will probably jump into the game over the weekend. But it does provide a decent indicator of how popular Funcom’s latest release is ahead of its general release since this head start period is only available on PC through Steam. The game has an 81.57% positive rating across 4,000 reviews and is the top trending game on Steam and the number two top-selling game on the platform.
