Minecraft Dungeons 2 has a firm launch date. The action RPG sequel from Mojang Studios and Double Eleven lands on September 29, 2026, priced at $29.99, after its first trailer and gameplay reveal ran during the Xbox Games Showcase. The reveal turned an earlier 2026 announcement into a complete plan, with a date, a price, and full platform coverage all confirmed at once.

Quick answer: Minecraft Dungeons 2 releases September 29, 2026 for $29.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and it is on Xbox Game Pass at launch.


Release date, price, and platforms

The sequel ships day one across every major hardware family rather than rolling out in stages. On Xbox it is an Xbox Play Anywhere title and is included with Game Pass, so subscribers on console and PC can play it without a separate purchase. The $29.99 price keeps it in the same accessible bracket as the original game.

Preorder bonus and how to claim it

Preordering gets you a small bundle of cosmetics. The bonus includes two hero skins, the Twisted cape, and the Twisted chicken pet. The offer runs at participating retailers from June 6 through September 28, with a limit of one per person.

You will know the bonus is tied to your purchase when the items appear in your inventory or cosmetics menu once the game is installed and launched on your platform. To qualify, place the preorder before the September 28 cutoff. Orders made after that window will not include the Twisted cosmetics.


What the sequel includes

The setup picks up with disorder spreading through the Overworld’s biomes. Restless mobs and strange events point to a new power rising, and the world needs heroes to push it back. As before, you trade the pickaxe for a sword and cut through hordes of enemies in fast, high-stakes encounters across new locations.

Loot stays at the center of the loop. You build your hero from gear you pick up on the journey, including weapons, armor, artifacts, talismans, and other legendary items. The campaign can be played solo or with up to four players total in online or couch co-op, and the tougher fights are designed with teams in mind.

With the date now locked to September 29, Minecraft Dungeons 2 enters a crowded fall release window, but the cross-platform launch and Game Pass availability give players plenty of ways in on day one.
