Funcom Faces Challenge Optimizing Dune Awakening for Xbox Series S

Funcom’s chief product officer, Scott Junior, revealed that bringing Dune Awakening to the Xbox Series S is proving to be a significant challenge, leading the company to prioritize a PC release first. The game, known for its graphical intensity and large-scale PvP battles, requires extensive optimization for lower-spec hardware. While Junior is optimistic about the game’s performance on older machines, the Xbox Series S will require special attention. Upcoming beta tests will focus on pushing server capacities to their limits, with plans to invite more players as the early 2025 release approaches.
