Dune: Awakening beta access was opened to those who pre-ordered the survival MMO, resulting in a peak concurrency of 37,889 players.
Funcom reported that the servers handled the increased player population well, with only one server needing a reboot.
Discussions on Reddit about the game include concerns over PvP balancing but mostly positive feedback on the MMO experience and base building.
The last open invites for the beta were sent out recently, and some players are engaging in unique ways to enjoy the game before the beta phase concludes.
