The survival MMO Dune Awakening currently tops Steam’s sales charts, eclipsing Elden Ring Nightreign shortly before its premium early access launch. Only Counter-Strike 2 maintains a higher position.

During a recent closed beta, concurrent players peaked at 37,889 after opening access to pre-order customers. Participants experienced the same initial segment showcased in recent preview coverage.

Elden Ring Nightreign, having sold over 3.5 million units since its release last week, naturally began descending the rankings as newer titles emerge.

Funcom’s upcoming title launches globally on June 10th, with early access requiring purchase of the £58.50/$69.99 Deluxe Edition. While Steam data doesn’t specify edition preferences, the sales momentum indicates strong anticipation.

Developers recently detailed post-launch content through an extensive showcase. The Landsraad system – dynamic faction challenges shaping server-wide progression – received particular emphasis during team discussions.

Inspired by Denis Villeneuve’s cinematic interpretations, this alternate Dune narrative comes from the studio behind Conan Exiles and Anarchy Online. Survival mechanics intertwine with political faction warfare across Arrakis’ shifting sands.
