Dune: Awakening

Superhex.io is a web-based multiplayer arcade game, popular during the .io game craze of 2016–2018. While its popularity has declined since release, it still receives modest traffic due to casual, accessible gameplay and social sharing. Unlike the initial boom, the daily active player base in 2024 is much lower but still present, especially since the genre maintains dedicated fans.

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.
