Robocraft 2

Dune: Awakening

Robocraft 2 is a follow-up to the original Robocraft, released in late 2023. Developed by Freejam, it's an action/shooter and vehicle builder with science fiction elements, but hasn't seen the widespread appeal or virality of leading PvP titles. The first game had moderate indie success but faded over time; initial launch interest for Robocraft 2 saw a brief spike, but player numbers have since dropped, matching typical indie multiplayer trends. Estimated daily players are likely in the low thousands, with community-driven activity and updates keeping it marginally active.

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.
