After enjoying huge success in cinemas in recent years, the time has now come for Dune to conquer video games. Long teased by Funcom, Dune Awakening, the survival MMO set in the universe imagined by Frank Herbert, is now finally available on PC since June 10th. And the good news is that console players will soon be able to enjoy it too! The bad news, however, is that we'll have to continue to be patient for now.
Dune Awakening will arrive on consoles in 2026
Indeed, the game's creators confirmed during its recent release that Dune Awakening will not be available on consoles until 2026. PS5 and Xbox Series players will therefore have to wait at least another six months before being able to join the adventure, if Funcom decides to release it at the beginning of the year. Because at this stage, the studio has simply settled for a vague "during 2026", which therefore does not exclude a release more or less late in the calendar next year.
The good side of things, however, is that this delay should eventually allow console players to enjoy an enriched version of Dune Awakening. Because as announced by Funcom, the title is set to receive a lot of additional post-launch content, content that could therefore potentially be directly included in the PS5 and Xbox Series version. We are then talking about four waves of DLC, the first of which, Wildlife of Arrakis, is already available, while the other three will arrive in late 2025, early 2026 and mid-2026.
A successful launch for the survival MMO
And that's without counting all the free updates that are also on the program for Dune Awakening which, without being a service game full of microtransactions, promises a long-term experience to its audience. Moreover, unlike a certain MindsEye released on the same day, the title seems for the moment to have had a successful launch. This is in any case what we can deduce from the more than 16,500 user reviews published on Steam, which then show an overall "very positive" experience.
