Dune Awakening will have Private Servers enabled from Day 1 of early access, and this article delves into the details of it.
Dune Awakening will have private servers from the early access period, as revealed by the developer. While private servers allow you to create your personal haven with customizable features, things will work slightly differently here. Private servers will not be free in Dune Awakening, and you will basically have to rent them from specific third-party providers.
You will be able to rent private servers for Dune Awakening from June 5, 2025. Based on the provider that you select, the prices and subscription model will vary. Moreover, private servers will function differently from the official game servers in ways more than one. In this article, we will explain how exactly private servers work in Dune Awakening.
How Does Dune Awakening Private Servers Work?
A Private Server in Dune Awakening contains its own Hagga Basin, but all other social hubs are shared within the World. However, this World is significantly different from an official sietch (server) and world. Private Servers belong to Worlds that contain other Private Servers, only in Dune Awakening. Moreover, you can name your Private Server and set passwords for it.
Simply put, here are the properties of a Private Server in Dune Awakening:
- Each private server has its own private Hagga Basin.
- Multiple private servers make up a special World. This World contains other private servers only. No official game servers are contained here.
- Social hubs and Deep Desert in a World is shared by all private servers in the World.
- Private Servers have their own name and password.
However, control is restricted in a Private Server in Dune Awakening. You will only be able to control the Hagga Basin, and other social hubs like the Deep Desert, Arrakeen, and Hako Village are shared. These social hubs are provided and maintained by the provider from whom you will rent the Private Server.
What Settings Can You Control in Dune Awakening Private Servers?
Currently, there are three specific settings that you can control in a Private Server in Dune Awakening:
- Security Zones: You can disable security zones, which would mean you can enable PvP in the entire Hagga Basin.
- Taxation: You can choose to disable taxation on your Private Server.
- Sandstorms: You can also choose to permanently disable sandstorms on your server.
While these are the settings that Funcom has enabled, the final decision rests with the server provider. Since these are third-party servers, the provider can decide which of these settings you will be able to control and configure.
How to Visit Other Private Servers in Dune Awakening?
The process is the same as joining any server from the official world. You will need to know the name of the Private Server and its password, and you will be able to join easily. When you join a Private Server in Dune Awakening, you will always spawn at the Griffin’s Reach trade post.
