Dune: Awakening

Goose Goose Duck is a social deduction party game released in 2021, similar to Among Us, which had significant popularity during its first year and retains an active global player base, particularly in regions like Asia. However, being a party game, player retention over time is moderate but not at massive scales seen in major MMOs, though it holds steady with tens of thousands of daily active players two years post-launch.

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.
