The wait is almost over. Minecraft Dungeons II launches worldwide on September 29, 2026, and everyone gets access at the same moment. There are no staggered regional rollouts, so the only thing that changes is your local clock. Here’s exactly when to be ready.

Platforms and Price
The sequel arrives on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. It’s also on Xbox Game Pass from day one. The base version costs $30 across platforms, which is friendly for a fresh sequel.
What’s New in Minecraft Dungeons II
The core loop is familiar: hack and slash through hordes of zombies, skeletons and other classic mobs, then collect tiered loot. But the sequel adds some fresh twists:
- A new realm called The Sift to explore
- Individual gear pieces for more customized builds
- Co-op play, so you can bring friends along
- Some new faces among the monsters you’ll fight
It’s a laid-back action RPG that suits veterans and newcomers alike. For background on the series, see Minecraft Dungeons II on Wikipedia.
Bonuses Worth Knowing
- Pre-order perk: Buying either edition before release adds two hero skins, the Twisted Cape and the Twisted Chicken pet.
- Returning players: If you own both Minecraft Dungeons and the sequel, you also get a Hero Cape cosmetic. It carries over to Minecraft Java and Bedrock.
Launch-Day Checklist
- Check your store page. It switches from pre-order to install or play once the game unlocks.
- Free up storage. Day-one patches are common, so keep some extra space.
- Sync with friends. Agree on a start time so your co-op squad can jump in together.
- Have patience. Servers can get busy in the first hours.
