Dune Awakening's release date is pretty close, as the upcoming MMO is scheduled to go live in June, and it could become a big hit with fans this year.
This guide will provide you with all the relevant information related to Funcom's upcoming project ahead of its official release. It will also help you gather all the stuff you need before preordering your copy of the game.
Is Dune Awakening crossplay?
The answer to this question is slightly in a gray area at the moment, and it's more to do with the platform accessibility (more on that in the following section). Based on Funcom's initial plans, there won't be any crossplay, as the MMO will only be available on PC.
Since it's going to be available exclusively on one platform, there's no question of crossplay in the foreseeable future. However, the feature could eventually arrive in the future, based on whether Dune Awakening becomes available on other platforms.
All Dune Awakening Platforms
Dune Awakening will be released globally on June 10 on PC. Unfortunately, it's not going to be available on consoles initially. However, in an interview in 2024, Creative Director Joel Bylos claimed there would be a console launch following the PC release.
Hence, it's pretty safe to assume that console players should be able to join the fun pretty soon. However, an exact date is unavailable at this point. Once Funcom confirms it, we will add the date to our guide. There's a strong chance for crossplay to be added once the console release takes place. For the time being, however, players will have to have a PC that supports the minimum requirements if they want to start playing from June.
Is Dune Awakening free to play?
Free-to-play has been a popular model for a lot of MMOs that have been released in recent years. In the case of Dune Awakening, there's no such privilege. The game is available in three different editions at separate price points.
- Standard Edition - $49.99
- Digital Deluxe Edition - $69.99
- Ultimate Edition - $89.99
Both the Digital Deluxe and the Ultimate Editions will offer up to five days of advanced access that will allow you to get extra hours of game time and a head start over those who get the Standard Edition of the game.
