Just 5 months after launch, MMO Dune: Awakening sees its Steam player count drop below that of Funcom's 2017 survival game as it struggles with "Mixed" reviews

Dune: Awakening.

It's been a turbulent few months for Dune: Awakening, from its big early access launch into "Mostly Negative" reviews on Steam to the climb to "Very Positive" reception – but now, as it sits with a "Mixed" rating, the survival MMO's player count is slipping.

For reference, Conan Exiles launched in early access back in 2017, while Dune: Awakening is a mere five months old – not to mention the latter game's recent update, which addressed issues that made many fans (including myself) quit with features like the Base Backup Tool and more, only just became available to test.
