Access Dune: Awakening Beta

05/09/2025 MMO

The Dune: Awakening Beta is here, and getting access might feel like navigating Arrakis's treacherous sands. But don't worry; there are ways to increase your chances of joining this exciting pre-release experience.

How to Get Your Beta Access

There are three main routes to securing a spot in the Dune: Awakening Beta. It's recommended to try all three for the best odds. Firstly, wishlist the game on the Steam page and request access. Secondly, sign up directly through the game's official website. Finally, keep an eye on the official Twitch stream during the Dune: Awakening Global LAN Party; tens of thousands of beta codes will be given away there.

Timing is Key

While wishing and signing up are easy, they're not guaranteed. The Twitch stream offers a better chance. The stream features a head-to-head battle between Team Harkonnen and Team Atreides, promising thrilling PvP action. Make sure to regularly check your email and Steam notifications for any beta access codes.

What Awaits in the Beta

The beta weekend offers a significant chunk of gameplay—roughly 20-25 hours. You'll explore regions like Hagga Basin South, Vermillius Gap (East and West), and experience part of Act 1. The experience also includes building, driving a Sandbike, and engaging in early to mid-game combat, both PvE and PvP. Note that progress won’t transfer to the full release.

Beta Weekend Details

The Dune: Awakening Beta runs for a limited time. Check the official website for the precise start and end times to avoid missing out. While the beta provides a taste of the game, the full release promises much more. This includes additional regions, vehicles such as Ornithopters and Buggies, and a social hub with cross-server trading.
