Dune: Awakening

Stick Fight: The Game is a popular indie action/party fighting game released in 2017, developed by Landfall Games. While it had strong popularity at launch and remains a favorite for party and local multiplayer sessions, its daily active player base has declined with age. Its cross-platform releases help retention, but indie party games typically have lower long-term concurrent player counts compared to AAA titles. The game typically peaks at a few thousand concurrent players across all platforms, so an estimate of around 3,500 daily active players is reasonable in 2024.

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.
