Overview

  • Players who purchase the deluxe or ultimate editions can begin early access at 10 a.m. EDT on June 5, with the full release for all users at the same time on June 10.
  • Steam preloads open on June 4, allowing pre-order customers to download the game before early access begins.
  • Pre-order bonuses include the Muad’Dib Terrarium and an orange cosmetic swatch for all editions; premium tiers also add a season pass and Sardaukar Bator Armor.
  • The Windows PC launch precedes a console version that Funcom’s creative director has suggested could arrive in late 2026, though no date has been confirmed.
  • Funcom will deliver free post-launch updates alongside optional DLC, and the MMO’s Arrakis setting features survival mechanics, faction politics and sandworm encounters in an alternate timeline without Paul Atreides.
