Funcom will reduce its workforce despite Dune: Awakening becoming the studio's most successful launch in 32 years. The survival MMO sold more than 1 million copies within its first month after releasing to PC players on June 10, and it ranked among the highest-earning games by revenue for 2025. The company stated that the transition from development to long-term live operation requires restructuring teams, and executives cannot determine the exact number of affected positions. Funcom plans to concentrate internal resources on releasing new content, features, and enhancements while preparing for a console release in 2026.

The announcement follows the release of the first major downloadable content update for Dune: Awakening, and the company offered a free weekend for new players. Funcom stated it will provide support to displaced employees, but it declined to comment further on the process. The studio described the game as demonstrating strong potential, and leadership determined that focusing resources across projects represents the appropriate strategy moving forward.
