DUST: Origins has no dated release. The studio has stated a 2027 PC release, and coverage of the August 2026 reveal put it in early 2027, but neither the store listing nor the studio's own press fact sheet carries a date. Both of those still read as to be announced. Anyone tracking the game should treat 2027 as the studio's stated window rather than a scheduled date.
Release Window
Three surfaces describe the timing slightly differently, which is worth knowing if you see conflicting figures quoted.
Surface | Stated release |
|---|---|
Store listing release-date field | To be announced |
Official press fact sheet | TBA |
Studio announcement copy (25 August 2026) | Coming to PC in 2027 |
Reporting from the reveal | Early 2027 |
So 2027 is confirmed by the studio in its own words. The narrower early 2027 figure comes from reporting on the reveal rather than from anything the studio has published itself, and no month or quarter has been given. If a dated release appears on the store listing, that supersedes everything above.
Platforms
PC is the only announced platform. The store listing supports Windows only, with macOS and Linux both marked unsupported, and the official fact sheet lists the platform simply as PC. No console version has been mentioned by the studio at any point, and none should be inferred from the genre or from the studio's earlier multi-platform work.
Platform | Status |
|---|---|
PC (Windows) | Announced |
macOS | Not supported on the store listing |
Linux | Not supported on the store listing |
Consoles | Not announced |
Store Details
The listing categorises the game under Action, Adventure and RPG. The only mode category present is single-player, which lines up with the studio calling it a premium single-player experience. Supporting features listed are achievements, cloud saves, full controller support including DualShock and DualSense pads, and family sharing. Language support is English only, with full audio.
System Requirements
Only a floor has been published. Both the minimum and recommended entries currently say the same thing, and the processor and graphics lines are placeholders.
Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
Operating system | Windows 11, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
Processor | To be determined | To be determined |
Graphics | To be determined | To be determined |
The game runs on Unreal 5, which is the only engine detail the studio has published. Expect the requirements to be filled in closer to release.
