While it hasn't been officially confirmed that Dune: Awakening isn't on Xbox Game Pass, there's also nothing to indicate that it will be, either. Even if it doesn't come to the service at launch, though, there's a chance it could become available on it later.

Open-world survival games like Valheim, Enshrouded, ARK: Survival Evolved, and others have proven to be some of the most popular titles available in recent years, especially on PC. Soon, developer and publisher Funcom — the studio behind the fan-favorite 2018 game Conan Exiles — is releasing one that could end up being one of 2025's best PC games: Dune: Awakening.

With a timely May 20 Windows PC (Steam) launch date that comes just over a year after 2024's extremely popular Dune: Part Two film and a massively multiplayer take on the franchise's iconic desert world Arrakis, Dune: Awakening is poised to be one of this year's biggest titles. Notably, the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 versions don't have a release date yet, but even so, interest in the game is high — and as a natural consequence of that, many are curious if they'll be able to jump in with Microsoft's buffet-style Xbox Game Pass service.
