Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. 14 languages are covered by the store listing. Over 66 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page.

Why Dune: Awakening is demanding
Dune: Awakening is a heavy title. Its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ( target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Dune: Awakening properly. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Dune: Awakening at the floor and Dune: Awakening at the recommended tier are not the same experience. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. DirectX 12 is named, so Dune: Awakening expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. The install is small at roughly 75 GB. Dune: Awakening expects 16 GB of system memory.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Dune: Awakening?
Dune: Awakening is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (8 GB) / AMD Radeon 6700XT (12 GB)-class graphics card, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) / AMD Radeon 5600XT (6 GB) the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.43x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.19x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Dune: Awakening's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
