Will Dune Awakening support mods?

Will Dune Awakening support mods? It's no secret that proper mod support can be a game-changer for enjoyment, and survival games have often been major beneficiaries. From significant quality of life tweaks to major overhauls of crafting systems, there are some cracking mods out there. What's more, private servers often come with in-built modifiers, letting you switch up things like progression speed among other elements.


But will Dune Awakening follow suit? While there's only a small chance server-wide mods will arrive with Dune Awakening private servers, you can expect the modding community to chip in with visual filters and performance adjustments to give the survival MMO a bit of extra oomph. For the latest on what Funcom's said about mod support, as well as our preliminary wishlist, read on.

Will Dune Awakening have private servers?

Will Dune Awakening have private servers? If you're after a truly anti-social experience, or only want to explore Arrakis' gorgeous desertscape with your closest compadres, we don't blame you. From Minecraft to Rust, to Funcom's other survival title, Conan Exiles, private servers have become a staple of the genre. But will Dune Awakening follow suit?


Dune Awakening takes an alternate approach not only to Frank Herbert's canon but also to the way it does its networking. While maps in survival games are typically tied to a single server, the upcoming PC game utilizes server meshing, hosting multiple dynamic map regions across servers to create one, unified experience. This makes things particularly tricky when it comes to leasing out private servers, and has given cause to doubt that Dune Awakening private servers will ever be a thing.

Is Dune Awakening coming to Game Pass?

Is Dune Awakening coming to Game Pass? Funcom has traded barbarians for Harkonnens as its MMO adaptation of Frank Herbert's space epic hurtles towards PC, and consoles at a later date. While the game won't be free-to-play, you may wonder if there's a way to skirt around that with your Game Pass subscription.


Dune Awakening is poised to offer the ultimate survival game fantasy, plonking you down on the most inhospitable planet in sci-fi, patting you on the back, and sending you on your way. The Dune Awakening release date for PC has yet to arrive, but there's already hope that Game Pass subscribers will be able to get involved at some point without having to cough up more cash. For the latest on that, read on.

Alright, Dune: Awakening, your in-game radio that plays music from the '90s Dune games has won me over


Alright folks, quiz time: what's the single best feature in the GTA series? I'll give you a second. Got your answer done? If you wrote anything but the in-game radio, you'd be dead wrong, obviously it's listening to boppin' tunes as you crash into lamp posts for the umpteenth time, there's nothing else it could be. I love an in-game radio, and as it turns out, Dune: Awakening of all games will include one (didn't know they had radio on Arrakis).
