Overview
- Funcom confirmed at PlayStation’s State of Play on Tuesday that Dune: Awakening will arrive on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 22, 2026, with preorders now live.
- The release adds an official single‑player mode that runs with NPCs only, offers three preset difficulty levels plus full customization, and simulates faction activity so solo players can access the Landsraad endgame.
- Single‑player changes include a non‑wiping Deep Desert where the Coriolis storm is less destructive, tools to back up bases and vehicles, and character locks that keep solo saves separate from online servers.
- Console builds will include Quality and Performance graphics settings with a Performance mode targeting 60 FPS, console‑optimized controls and UI, and the title will launch on Xbox Game Pass as an Xbox Play Anywhere entry.
- The September launch is positioned as a definitive edition that bundles the final Book One chapter, numerous quality‑of‑life fixes, the rebuilt late‑game loop, optional PvP and self‑hosted server support from the PC run, which could help revive player interest after a rocky PC debut in June 2025.
