Dune Awakening system requirements

What are the Dune Awakening system requirements? The system specs for this multiplayer survival game on Arrakis will come as a relief for most gamers. Running the game on the lowest settings is manageable for practically any machine built in the last seven years, although getting fast frame rates at higher resolutions and settings will naturally require a higher-spec rig.

If you're lucky enough to own one of the Dune Awakening on low settings.

Here are the Dune Awakening minimum and recommended system requirements:

The Dune Awakening minimum requirements aren't too shocking by modern standards, leaving plenty of older gaming PCs still in contention. You'll need an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (with 6GB of VRAM, not the 3GB model), an AMD Radeon 5600 XT (also with 6GB), or an Intel Arc A380 GPU for this game, paired with either a quad-core Intel Core i5-7400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 U.

At least 16GB of RAM is required for this game, which is about the bare minimum you'd expect these days for a game released in 2025. If your system falls short of this figure, you'll need to check out our best gaming RAM guide for an upgrade. If your PC manages to reach these specs, you'll be able to run the game at 1080p, although capped at a measly 30fps.

Taking the settings up a notch to the Dune Awakening recommended specs, you'll then need to step up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, or an Intel Arc B580 for your gaming GPU. You'll need to match that with an eight-core Intel Core i7-10700K or six-core AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, with the RAM requirement sticking to 16GB.

These specs will let you boost your settings to the high graphics preset, which should give you a stable 60fps frame rate at 2,560 x 1,440.

Here are the Dune Awakening medium and ultra system requirements:

The Dune Awakening medium requirements require a PC that can handle this game running at 1080p, while targeting a 60fps frame rate using the medium graphics preset.

To do that, you'll need a six-core Intel Core i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 for your U, coupled with either an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, an AMD Radeon RX 6600, or an Intel Arc A770 graphics card. As before, 16GB is the requirement for RAM here.

For 4K (2160p) gameplay at 60fps, you'll need a gaming PC that matches the Dune Awakening ultra requirements. That means running the game using the ultra graphics preset on a PC with either an eight-core Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X U at your disposal.

The graphics card takes a boost up a generation, too, with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 or AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT as the minimum here.  There's no RAM requirement upgrade for ultra settings, however, with 16GB RAM or more remaining the benchmark to meet.

The Dune Awakening size hasn't been revealed yet, but the amount of space the game occupies on your SSD depends on the system requirements you're able to meet, with better graphics presets requiring a larger amount of available space on your drive. Using minimum settings, only 60GB of available space is required to install the game, although 75GB is required for the other presets.

You won't need the Samsung 990 Pro, assuming your gaming PC has a PCIe 4.0 NVMe M2 slot available.
