Dune: Awakening and Stellar Blade both set new concurrent user records on Steam this weekend
Both Dune: Awakening and Stellar Blade have set new concurrent user records on Steam over the weekend.
Dune: Awakening, which released 10th June for all, and Stellar Blade, which had its long-anticipated PC debut on 11th, both launched with comparatively few problems, and their success has been underlined by the number of players getting stuck in over the weekend. At the time of writing, Dune: Awakening has secured an all-time concurrent peak of 175.5K players, and Stellar Blade 192K.
That puts both games in the top ten of most-played games of the weekend, with just Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, Dota 2, and Apex Legends attracting more players.
The PlayStation-published Stellar Blade made its way onto PC earlier this week and within hours of release, it was already the most successful PlayStation-published single-player game on the platform by concurrent count.
In comparison, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered has a peak player count of 66,436, Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition has a peak of 56,557, The Last of Us Part 1 has a peak of 36,496 and its sequel – The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered – has a peak of 30,690. Only Helldivers 2 has attracted more players at once, but that’s, of course, a multiplayer title.
