Grand Tanks: WW2 Tank Games

Dune: Awakening

Grand Tanks: WW2 Tank Games is a relatively recent game (released in 2023), but it is from an unknown studio with little mainstream traction or major publisher support. It competes in the niche of tank simulators, a genre dominated by more established titles like World of Tanks. It is likely to have a small, active player base, primarily made up of genre enthusiasts.

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.
