Funcom recaps the recent launch of Dune: Awakening, bragging about reviews and engagement for the science fiction survival game. The game has hosted a peak of over 189,000 concurrent players, which is corroborated by SteamDB, though the Steam's Most Played List puts the number closer to 155K. This dwarfs the peak player count for Funcom's Conan Exiles and is the fastest-selling game in the developer's history. The reviews are also positive, and celebrated in a new Accolades Trailer. Here's word:

Dune: Awakening, the Funcom-developed, open world, multiplayer survival game on a massive scale, has launched to rave reviews, and is currently sitting at an 85% Very Positive Steam rating with over 28,700 reviews. It currently has an 80 rating on Metacritic and 81 on OpenCritic. Take a break from spice hunting and see the new Accolades trailer.

In the first weekend following launch, Dune: Awakening beat its peak concurrent players record three times, reaching over 189,000, and massively beating the 53,400 record of their previous title, Conan Exiles. It is now also Funcom’s fastest-selling game of all time. Since the Head Start, Dune: Awakening has consistently been among the most played games on Steam.
