Dune: Awakening

ChilloutVR

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.

ChilloutVR is a VR-centric social platform released in 2021, developed by a small indie studio. It's similar to VRChat and offers user-generated content and multiplayer experiences, which supports some persistent world features but on a far smaller scale and playerbase. As a niche indie VR title, its daily player base is modest, likely in the low thousands, due to competition with larger platforms and the limited size of the VR market.
