Overview

• Early access head start on June 5 attracted almost 100,000 concurrent Steam players exploring Arrakis’ deserts and building bases.
• A delayed D1 patch and automatic beta region selection initially prevented the server browser from displaying available sessions.
• Funcom used its Discord channel to announce reinstatement steps that guided affected players back online.
• Overcrowded Sietch instances pushed server populations past playable limits, forcing players to wait for logouts before joining.
• Steam reviews flipped from “Mostly Negative” to “Very Positive” after stability tweaks smoothed out connectivity and performance issues ahead of the June 10 release.
