Wazzup Pilipinas!?
The spice must flow—and soon, it will flow across every major platform.
In a landmark announcement that marks a defining moment for the title, Funcom has confirmed that the open-world survival phenomenon Dune: Awakening is arriving on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 22, 2026. This isn't merely a port; it is the definitive, feature-complete evolution of the Arrakis experience that players have been waiting for.
The Ultimate Arrakis Experience
Funcom CEO Rui Casais describes this release as the culmination of over a year of rigorous development, blending a year’s worth of PC optimizations with a massive suite of new additions. Whether you are a lone wanderer or a master of factions, the game is being refined to be the best version yet on all three platforms.
Key Features Arriving This September:
True Console Parity: Console players will receive the full, uncompromised PC experience, featuring controls and UI specifically tuned for controllers, with a target of 60fps in Performance Mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
The Single-Player Journey: For the first time, you can conquer the desert on your own terms. The entire game is now playable in single-player with fully scalable difficulty settings, allowing you to tweak everything from combat intensity to harvesting rates.
A Cinematic Conclusion: The narrative reaches its crescendo with the arrival of the grand finale of Book One, offering a complete, dramatic arc from start to finish.
Player-First Freedom: Multiplayer has evolved, introducing optional PvP so you can experience the beauty of the Deep Desert in full PvE. Plus, with new vehicle and base reconstruction tools, you can take breaks from the struggle without the fear of losing your hard-earned progress.
Accessibility and Expansion
The gates to Arrakis are wider than ever. Dune: Awakening will be available on Xbox Game Pass starting September 22nd and is fully "Xbox Play Anywhere" enabled, supporting cross-play and shared progress between Xbox and the Microsoft Store. The game is also verified for Steam Deck and supports ROG Ally, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and GeForce Now, ensuring you can survive the heat of the desert wherever you are.
Creative Director Joel Bylos promises that this is only the beginning. Beyond the September launch, Funcom has already committed to a free, post-launch update: The Polar Cap. This entirely new, icy survival map will introduce fresh mechanics and challenges to one of science fiction’s most iconic worlds.
Prepare for Your Rise
Pre-orders are now live for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. While the standard edition is priced at $49.99, players looking to secure a head start can opt for the Deluxe Edition ($69.99) or the Ultimate Edition ($89.99).
Whether you seek to build a legacy or simply survive the unforgiving dunes, your destiny on Arrakis begins on September 22nd. How will you rise?
