Dune: Awakening

VS

Diablo Immortal

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.

Diablo Immortal is a mobile/PC action RPG launched by Blizzard in mid-2022. Despite controversy at launch, the game retains a sizable audience due to frequent content updates, Diablo brand loyalty, and a strong presence in Asian markets. However, playership is below launch peak, with daily players estimated between 70,000–120,000, settling toward the lower end post 2-year mark.
