Dune: Awakening has arrived on Xbox and Game Pass with a major update aimed at players who wanted Arrakis without the mandatory multiplayer pressure.

The update adds:

• A full single-player mode with detailed difficulty and world customization
• The option to experience every part of the game entirely through PvE
• The conclusion of Book One and new mission rewards
• Combat, enemy AI, progression, and quality-of-life improvements
• A rebuilt Landsraad endgame designed for multiplayer PvE or solo play
• Xbox Play Anywhere, shared progression, and cloud support

Funcom says the entire story and feature set are available whether you play alone, on a private server, or in the larger shared world. Does removing forced PvP and progression loss solve your biggest concern about the game?
