We've been waiting a long time for Dune: Awakening to get an official Xbox release date, and not only do we have one penned in, but it's also been confirmed that it'll be launching on Xbox Game Pass!

Yes, Dune: Awakening will finally launch for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on September 22nd, 2026. The game will be included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on that date, or you can pre-order it separately right now for £39.99 / $49.99 (Game Pass owners get a 20% discount on that price).

It's also said that this will be "the best version of Dune: Awakening yet", adding new features on top of the existing PC version including the ability to experience the entire game in single-player mode.

"Single-player is one of the most-requested features since launch. We’re also adding the final chapter of Dune: Awakening’s Book One story, so whether you want to play entirely by yourself, with friends on a private server, or with strangers on a larger multiplayer server, you will now be able to play the story from the start to its dramatic conclusion.

To us at Funcom, September 22nd is more than a console launch. It is a milestone for the new and improved Dune: Awakening. New console players and both new and returning PC players alike will land on Arrakis with access to everything added and improved since PC launch, plus everything arriving in September."

In terms of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S version, we also know that it'll come with two graphic modes in the form of Quality and Performance, with the latter targeting 60FPS and being the default setting.

The official Dune: Awakening website goes into loads of detail about everything that's getting improved for the Xbox release this September, and we'll leave you with more details and screenshots for the game in general down below!

Dune: Awakening is a single- and multiplayer Open World Survival game with immersive adventure and RPG gameplay. Explore, build, craft, and unravel a cinematic Dune story as you rise from survival to greatness on the most legendary planet in the universe.
