Dune Awakening Beta a Huge Success
The final beta for Dune Awakening, Funcom's upcoming survival MMO, concluded recently, and the results were impressive. The game saw a significant surge in players, reaching a peak of nearly 40,000 concurrent players on Steam. This impressive number was achieved during a closed beta, accessible only to those who pre-ordered the game, suggesting strong early interest.
Impressive Beta Numbers
The beta's success wasn't limited to raw player count. Steam data reveals a consistent player base throughout the weekend, indicating sustained engagement. Furthermore, the game performed exceptionally well on Twitch, ranking highly in viewership, showcasing significant interest fueled partly by influencer marketing. This combination of high concurrent players and significant streaming hours paints a positive picture of the game's launch prospects.
The impressive figures from the closed beta suggest a promising future for Dune Awakening. The high level of engagement from pre-order players speaks volumes about their anticipation. The combination of strong player numbers and successful Twitch viewership bodes well for the game's release on June 10th (or June 5th for deluxe edition owners).
