Yes, day one on Game Pass

Dune: Awakening is available on Xbox Game Pass from day one of the console launch — September 22, 2026 — on Xbox Series X|S. If you subscribe, you can play the base game at no extra cost.

What is included

Game Pass covers the base game. The DLC released alongside the console launch on September 22 is a separate purchase — check the platform store for the exact edition and DLC contents before buying (the official store listing is authoritative; this site does not duplicate store descriptions).

Game Pass + Windows PC store

The Xbox Series X|S version and the Windows PC (Microsoft Store) version share progression — one of the few cross-platform links in the game. If you play via Game Pass on console and also have the Windows store version on PC, your character and economy carry across.
