Upcoming PlayStation Closed Beta Weekend Playtest

Dune: Awakening · published 19 Jun 2026, 13:01 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Following our recent updates regarding the console development of Dune: Awakening, we know many of you are eager to get your hands on the game. Bringing this experience to console players is a massive priority for our team, and we are now ready to take the next major step in that process. 

We are thrilled to announce that our first Closed Beta Playtest for PlayStation will take place from June 25 to June 29! 

The primary goal is to test how the game feels on console with the number of improvements and changes to the control scheme, combat, and progression that have been introduced. 

Here are the key details you need to know before registering: 

  • This specific technical test is for players on PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Pro residing in North America only. 

  • New players who have never played the game, and those that have already explored Arrakis on PC are welcome to register. 

  • We will be testing the multiplayer game mode only. We will focus on the single-player mode, including all the customization options in a future playtest. 

  • This test is confidential and will be held under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). All participants must agree to the NDA before playing. Streaming, capturing footage, taking screenshots, or discussing the game outside of our designated private testing channels is strictly prohibited. 

  • For this initial phase, we are keeping the testing pool highly focused. We will only be inviting a very limited number of users from the registration list to join us for the weekend. 

  • At the end of the playtest, we will conduct a survey to collect detailed feedback from players about their experience. 

How to Register 

If you are available in this timeframe and want to help us test the game, you can register your interest here. We will be sending emails with NDAs and keys sometime next week. 

If you do not receive an invitation this time, please do not worry. There is a strong possibility for additional tests in the future as we progress toward launch. Keep an eye on our official channels for further updates. 

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm.
