Minecraft Dungeons II Release Date

Minecraft Dungeons II launches September 29, 2026 at 08:00 UTC. The date locked at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, 2026. Minecraft Wiki repeats the UTC time. If a storefront in your country shows a local clock, work backward from 08:00 UTC rather than from a leaked meme.

This page is the platform sheet. For prices and cosmetics, use pre-order and editions. For PC specs, use system requirements.

Platforms on day one

• Windows 10/11 — Microsoft Store (Play Anywhere) and Steam (app 1912410, Microsoft account link).
• Xbox Series X|S — disc/digital plus Game Pass. Xbox One is not listed.
• Xbox Cloud Gaming — campaign streaming for supported devices.
• PlayStation 5 — digital and physical listings exist; online play needs PlayStation Plus.
• Nintendo Switch — separate SKU, about 6.8 GB.
• Nintendo Switch 2 — separate SKU, about 6.8 GB. Not a free upgrade from Switch 1.
• Xbox Game Pass — Standard campaign on day one for Xbox and PC.

Handheld-optimised and Xbox Play Anywhere flags sit on the Microsoft listing. Buy once on that path, play on console and PC. Steam is a second PC door, not a Play Anywhere twin.

File size notes from storefronts: Windows/Xbox around 340 MB in one listing (expect that to grow with pre-load), Switch family 6.8 GB. If your Switch is full of screenshots, make room before September 29, not during.

Time zones (from 08:00 UTC)

• 01:00 Pacific on September 29
• 04:00 Eastern on September 29
• 09:00 UK on September 29
• 10:00 Central Europe on September 29
• 17:00 Japan on September 29
• 18:00 Australia Eastern on September 29

Pre-load windows are store-specific. Xbox and Steam usually unlock the download early and the playable bytes at the timestamp. Do not assume a midnight local surprise.

What launches with the game

The connected Overworld, Brave Haven, jump, four armor slots, talismans, Enchantsmith, The Sift, four-player co-op, and the bosses already previewed. Deluxe’s DLC 1 and 2 are not day-one packs; store copy says they arrive as released. Anyone promising both DLC dungeons at 08:00 UTC is ignoring the product page.

Cross-play is listed as a Microsoft store capability. Treat it as “supported in the design,” then confirm the friends list on your combination of Steam / Xbox / PlayStation / Nintendo. Co-op holds the session advice.

What does not launch

• Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and mobile as native clients. Cloud is the workaround, not a port promise.
• A free Minecraft (Java/Bedrock) version of this campaign. The Hero Cape crossover is a cosmetic in those games, not the ARPG itself.
• Your 2020 unique inventory. There is no announced transfer of Dungeons 1 gear. Comment sections keep asking. Official pages keep not offering it.

How to spend the last weeks

1. Pick a SKU on pre-order if you want the Twisted Chicken before the September 28 cutoff.
2. Check system requirements or cloud.
3. Read Getting Started so hour one is not a store tutorial.
4. Watch the Showcase trailer on this page for tone, then the Sift trailer for the new dimension.

The date is not a rumour. It is the only date on the Xbox, Steam, Nintendo, and PlayStation listings. If it moves, this page will move with it. Until then, set an alarm for 08:00 UTC and go make room on the Switch. Friends in other time zones should convert from UTC, not from a TikTok that says “midnight everywhere.” Pair the alarm with the Getting Started checklist so the first hour is a town loop, not a storefront argument.
