Funcom, Dune: Awakening's developer, has gone on the record, calling the Xbox Series S port of the game "a challenge." Dune: Awakening has shown plenty of potential in several areas. The gameplay could provide a chance for gamers to immerse themselves in the world's dynamics, while the visual fidelity of the trailers show a commitment to pulling off the look of Arrakis with few compromises to artistic vision. Although Awakening is the first Dune game Funcom has developed, it previously published Dune: Spice Wars.
