Dune: Awakening

PK XD is a family-friendly, open-world social and sandbox game for kids, popular on mobile platforms since 2019. It maintains a strong global user base, especially in Latin America and younger demographics, with frequent updates and social features supporting high engagement. Despite being several years old, it remains widely played with hundreds of thousands of daily active players across mobile and PC. Its persistent online world and multiplayer features also push it toward MMO classification.

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.
