Current target date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026 (PS5 and Xbox launch). We update this page when studios or publishers move the window.
PS5 and Xbox launch
Tuesday, September 22, 2026
September 22, 2026 brings Arrakis to PS5 and Xbox — with PC’s year of patches baked in
Dune: Awakening left early-access-style PC life in June 2025. Funcom’s console date is Tuesday, September 22, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — and the studio is treating that Tuesday as a shared milestone, not a lonely port: single-player, story wrap pieces, and the post-launch PC inventory land together.
Pre-order ladders already list Standard (~$49.99), Deluxe, and Ultimate with early access starting September 17 for the higher editions. Confirm the exact bonus list on your storefront before you tip sand into a cart.
Confirmed: Funcom open-world survival — not a Villeneuve movie game and not Imperium
Herbert’s desert shows up everywhere in 2020s pop culture. This SKU is Funcom’s Conan-adjacent survival MMO DNA on Arrakis, licensed against the Herbert / Legendary / Villeneuve wave — it is not a linear film adaptation and it is not Dire Wolf’s Dune: Imperium board/digital strategy line. If the store page says “Awakening” and open-world crafting bases, you have the right dune.

From PC sandstorm to console milestone
- June 2025 — Dune: Awakening launches on PC.
- 2025–2026 — Live content, Deep Desert loops, and QoL land on PC first.
- June 2026 — Funcom locks Sept 22 console date + single-player for all platforms.
- Sept 17, 2026 — Deluxe / Ultimate early access window (if you buy those SKUs).
- Sept 22, 2026 — PS5 + Xbox launch; shared milestone build (this page).
The console date is also the day Funcom finally ships true single-player Arrakis
Most live-service ports treat single-player as a later apology patch. Funcom timed the PS5 / Xbox launch to the same Tuesday it adds a full single-player mode — and Book One’s dramatic wrap — on every platform at once.
That means September 22 is less “catch-up port” and more “second launch day”: console buyers skip a year of early roughness, and PC veterans get the solitude mode they kept requesting without waiting for a separate DLC season.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does Dune: Awakening launch on consoles?
September 22, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Funcom announced the date in June 2026 alongside a same-day “new and improved” milestone for PC.
2Is it on Xbox Game Pass day one?
Yes — Xbox Wire and Funcom list Game Pass on September 22, with Xbox Play Anywhere cross-progression between Xbox consoles and the Windows PC store. PlayStation is a purchase (or whatever PS Plus deal Sony lists closer to launch).
3Does console get single-player, or is it still MMO-only?
September 22 ships a full single-player mode on consoles and PC together, plus private/self-hosted options and official multiplayer. Funcom also framed PvP as optional with PvE as the default posture for the milestone build.
4When did it launch on PC?
June 2025. Console day one includes that year of live content and fixes, not a bare 1.0 port — Funcom’s pitch is that September 22 is the definitive Arrakis build across platforms.
