Dune: Awakening, a video game developed by the Swedish studio Funcom, has officially launched on consoles such as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series after initially being released on PC in June 2025. The latest update introduces a 100% solo mode, enabling players to complete the game's story without needing to interact with other players. To support solo gameplay, the game's market system has been modified so that guilds of the Landsraad—fictional political entities in the Dune universe—automatically handle transactions. Additionally, the Coriolis storm, a dangerous weather phenomenon in the game, no longer resets the deep desert or directly kills players, making solo progression less challenging.
The update also brings closure to the first narrative saga with its final chapter, while introducing several enhancements. These include refined combat mechanics, new areas to explore, new bosses to defeat, and additional server management parameters. The update also removes the requirement for players to engage in player versus player (PvP) combat to access all content and rewards, offering greater flexibility for players.
A new cosmetic downloadable content (DLC) package called Filmic Archive is now available for purchase. The DLC includes outfits and armor inspired by the films directed by Denis Villeneuve, such as Dune and Blade Runner 2049, as well as 73 new furniture items inspired by the Sardaukar forces, a powerful faction in the Dune universe. The Filmic Archive DLC costs 9.99€.
Dune: Awakening is now available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, although crossplay between these platforms is not yet enabled. A 50% discount on Steam, reducing the price to 24.99€, is available until October 1st. Additionally, a special connection reward called the "Matron’s Décor" decoration kit is available until October 22nd.
