Dune: Awakening

VS

Vigor

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.

Vigor is a free-to-play online shooter developed by Bohemia Interactive, released in 2019. It has maintained a niche but stable player base, especially on consoles, due to its unique survival and looter-shooter gameplay and ongoing updates. However, as a session-based instanced game rather than a persistent world, its daily active players are modest compared to larger titles.
