Dune: Awakening PS5 launch confirmed

Entities: Frank Herbert · Dune: Awakening · Spike Chunsoft · Denis Villeneuve · Funcom

Overview

Funcom’s open‑world survival title **Dune: Awakening** remains slated for a September 22, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The console versions will include the full Book One single‑player campaign, scalable difficulty, extensive customisation and a performance mode targeting 60 fps (with a 30 fps 4K‑upscaled quality mode). A physical PS5 edition will be released worldwide; Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe will handle retail in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Solutions 2 GO will distribute in the Americas, and Spike Chunsoft will publish the Japanese PS5 version, slated for autumn 2026. Pre‑orders opened in early June, offering a “Terrarium of Muad’Dib” décor item and colour swatch, with Deluxe and Ultimate tiers adding extra DLC, armour sets, building parts and a five‑day early‑access window.

The launch follows a year of PC updates that added new regions, missions, end‑game content and a shift toward PvE, all of which will be integrated into the console experience. The PC version debuted on Steam in June 2025, selling over one million copies within two weeks. An Xbox Series X|S version and a PC Microsoft Store release are also scheduled for later in 2026, with Game Pass support planned. Funcom will continue providing patches and new Landsraad missions ahead of the console debut, aligning the game’s release with the third Dune film’s December 2026 theatrical launch.
