Funcom confirms that new MMO Dune Awakening is the studio's best-selling game ever in its 32-year history of making MMOs.

Funcom’s new MMO Dune Awakening rocketed out of the gate on June 10, hitting one million players faster than any of the studio’s previous releases (Conan Exiles took a whole year to reach that mark). Despite a few launch-day bugs, fans have already trekked across 25.5 million km² of Arrakis, guzzled 6.1 billion grams of spice and whipped up over half-a-million Ornithopters.

The studio’s riding that “Coriolis storm” of enthusiasm by rapidly patching issues—most notably tweaking the endgame so PvE folks aren’t forced into unwanted PvP brawls—and promising a steady drip of new content. If Dune Awakening follows Funcom’s track record (lookin’ at you, Anarchy Online), it’ll be supported for years to come.
