Dusk: A New Mobile Multiplayer App Aims to Capitalize on the Growing Market
Dusk, a recently funded mobile multiplayer app from entrepreneurs Bjarke Felbo and Sanjay Guruprasad, is entering a crowded market. This social platform aims to provide a quick and easy way for friends to play games together. The app's creators have a proven track record, having previously developed Rune, a companion app for PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile that garnered five million installs.
Dusk distinguishes itself by acting as a game creation platform. Users play games specifically designed for the app, enjoying the added convenience of built-in chat and easy friend pairing. Imagine a streamlined version of Xbox Live or Steam, but focused on custom-made mobile games.
The Key Challenge: Game Selection
The app's success hinges on the quality and appeal of the games offered. While some titles, such as mini-golf and 3D racing, show promise, the lack of established, big-name games presents a significant hurdle.
However, Dusk boasts cross-play functionality across browsers, iOS, and Android. In a landscape where platforms like Discord are integrating games, Dusk's lightweight approach to connecting friends for mobile gaming could be a compelling advantage. Only time will tell if this strategy will pay off.
