Dusk: New Mobile Multiplayer Unveiled

Dusk: A New Mobile Multiplayer App Aims to Capture the Market

Dusk, a recently funded mobile multiplayer app from entrepreneurs Bjarke Felbo and Sanjay Guruprasad, is aiming to capitalize on the booming mobile multiplayer market. This social platform allows users to quickly and easily play games and team up with friends.

Felbo and Guruprasad's previous venture, the Rune companion app for PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile, boasts five million installs before its closure, demonstrating their experience in the mobile gaming space. Dusk, however, represents a significant departure.

Dusk functions as a game creation platform, hosting custom-made games accessible within the app. Think of it as a streamlined, mobile-first version of Xbox Live or Steam, focusing on a curated selection of titles. Users can play these games and simultaneously chat with their friends, facilitating seamless team-ups.

The Key Challenge: Game Selection

The primary concern surrounding Dusk is its reliance on the quality and appeal of its custom-made games. While some titles, such as mini-golf and 3D racing, show promise, the absence of established, big-name franchises presents a challenge.

Despite this, Dusk possesses a strong selling point: cross-platform compatibility across browsers, iOS, and Android. This simplicity and cross-play functionality, in a market where platforms like Discord are actively integrating games, could prove highly attractive. Only time will tell if this strategy will be successful.
