What changes with the patch

Funcom says Dune: Awakening patch 1.5.20.0 is live on all platforms. The November 9 notes add fully offline single-player, including creating and deleting single-player characters without an internet connection.

A Go Online button lets players reconnect. The change concerns single-player; it does not turn multiplayer worlds into offline sessions.

Acquired DLC is excluded fully offline

The patch notes say acquired DLC is not available while fully offline. Funcom plans to address this in a later update, but gives no release date for that change.

Its support page specifically includes the digital soundtrack and digital artbook among content that requires an internet connection. Check those limits before relying on the new mode away from a connection.

Xbox players should check the current issues

The official known-issues page, dated November 9 when checked, still flags single-player autosaves failing to load on Xbox. The offline launch is therefore not a claim that every single-player problem has been fixed.

Read the linked patch notes and current support list for your platform. This report does not verify a successful offline session, purchase or save recovery on an individual device.
