Dune Awakening’s Xbox Series S Port “Challenging”

Funcom, the developer behind Dune Awakening, has revealed that optimizing the game for the Xbox Series S is proving "challenging." The team is working diligently to ensure the game runs smoothly on Microsoft's less powerful console, but the process has been anything but straightforward.

Why the Xbox Series S Port Is Challenging

In a recent interview, Dune Awakening's Chief Product Officer, Scott Junior, explained that the Series S presents unique challenges. He mentioned that "a lot of optimizations" are necessary to get the game ready for the console. This difficulty is one reason why the game will debut on PC first.

Progress Despite the Challenges

Despite the difficulties, Funcom remains committed to bringing Dune Awakening's Xbox Series S Port. Junior assured fans that the team is making progress and will "be able to do it." However, no specific release date for the console versions has been confirmed yet.

A Broader Industry Trend

Funcom isn't the only developer facing a challenge with the Xbox Series S. Other studios, including the team behind Baldur's Gate 3, have also encountered difficulties with the console, particularly with features like split-screen co-op.

What This Means for Dune Awakening

While Dune Awakening's Xbox Series S Port is significant, Funcom's dedication suggests that the final product will be worth the wait. Fans of the Dune universe can look forward to a well-optimized experience, even on the less powerful hardware.
