Dune: Awakening

Destiny 2 is a major online shooter-looter from Bungie, released in 2017 but still supported by expansions and seasonal content. The game remains popular due to its active community, cross-platform support, and ongoing updates, though player numbers have declined from peak years. Current daily active players are typically estimated in the low-to-mid hundreds of thousands across platforms.

As of late August 2025, Dune: Awakening had approximately 14,000 concurrent players, reflecting a significant decline from its peak of over 189,000 concurrent players shortly after launch in June 2025. This decrease is attributed to factors such as player burnout, game design issues, and technical problems. Despite these challenges, the developers remain optimistic, citing strong player retention and a 10-year development roadmap that includes plans to explore new planets and regions within the Dune universe.
