Dune: Awakening

Spatial is a cross-platform social platform primarily used for virtual meetings, events, and digital art exhibitions. Since its 2020 launch, it has positioned itself as a metaverse platform rather than a traditional video game, with moderate traction in the social VR and creative community spaces. The daily active users are likely modest compared to mainstream games, but it is supported by ongoing development, mobile, and web accessibility.

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.
