Dune: Awakening

H1Z1 was an early battle royale and survival title that saw significant popularity in its first few years but has substantially declined since 2018, with its player base moving to other games like PUBG and Fortnite. As of mid-2024, it maintains a very low daily population on both PC and PlayStation, with SteamCharts showing minimal activity and limited developer support. The game is not shut down, but is largely inactive compared to its heyday.

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.
