Dune: Spice Wars is a real-time strategy game with 4X elements developed by Shiro Games and published by both Funcom and Shiro Games. The game is set in the groundbreaking universe of Dune created by Frank Herbert, a renowned American science fiction author, as well as its subsequent film adaptations.
Dune: Spice Wars was only released on April 26, 2022, but has already achieved such success that we can call this a smooth sailing launch. According to data from SteamDB (as of April 28, 2022), Dune: Spice Wars had a concurrent player count of 7,498, peaking at 8,397 players within the last 24 hours. This is a significant figure for a newly released game.
Of course, when we compare the concurrent player count and peak player numbers of Elden Ring, the gap is quite large. Elden Ring has been out since February 24 and remains a “hot” game even to this day. Thus, it is no surprise that it boasts a massive player base and holds the top spot in the best-selling games on Steam for a while now.
However, it seems that times have changed as Elden Ring has completely lost its throne to a “newbie player” named Dune: Spice Wars. Yes, Elden Ring has a lot of players, but being “knocked off” the throne so easily by a newly released game just a few days old is indeed surprising.
Currently, Dune: Spice Wars in Early Access is being sold on Steam for 480,000 VND. The game has also received many positive reviews from players and is rated as Very Positive with a total of 738 reviews (as of April 28).
