The release strategy for Dune Awakening, the highly anticipated MMO based on the iconic franchise, has undergone significant changes. Initially planned for an early access launch on Steam, the developers have now opted for a direct full release. Barring any further changes, the game is set to launch on May 20 as a complete version, offering players an immersive experience from day one.

  • No Subscription Required: Players won’t need to pay recurring fees to enjoy the game.
  • Free Updates: The game will evolve over time with regular free updates, introducing new content, features, and improvements.
  • Optional Paid Expansions: While the core experience will remain free of additional costs, optional paid expansions will also be available.
  • Price: The game will retail for $49.99 , with regional pricing adjustments to be announced later.

To ensure smooth gameplay across a range of systems, the developers have shared both minimum and recommended system requirements.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit) or newer
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-7400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) or AMD Radeon 5600XT (6 GB)
  • Storage: 60 GB of free disk space
  • Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit) or newer
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (8 GB) or AMD Radeon 6700XT (12 GB)

The decision to skip early access reflects the developers' confidence in delivering a polished and feature-complete game at launch. This approach ensures that players can dive into the vast universe of Dune without the interruptions often associated with incremental updates during early access phases.
