Hosting a Dune: Awakening server
Dune: Awakening is an open-world survival game from Funcom, released on Steam in June 2025. You explore, build and craft on Arrakis, from a modest home to a large base, while following a cinematic Dune story and avoiding the sandworm.
Funcom supports three ways to play: full single-player, multiplayer with friends on a self-hosted or rented private server, or public servers with hundreds of players. Single-player and private multiplayer both offer extensive customisation, so you can scale difficulty and tune gameplay options.
What to compare
- Private server settings. Check the host lets you change the gameplay options Funcom exposes for private servers.
- Player slots. Size the plan to your group and compare how pricing scales.
- Save backups. Bases take a long time to build. Automatic backups protect them.
- Location. Choose a datacentre close to most of your players to keep latency low.
