Dune: Awakening

Firestone: Online Idle RPG is a cross-platform idle RPG released in 2021 by indie studio HolyDay Studios. Although it has active support and an online component, it appeals to a niche audience typical of idle RPGs, and has seen moderate long-term retention, likely resulting in a few thousand daily players primarily via browser and mobile 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.
