The beta test promises to welcome a substantial influx of new players and, unlike previous closed betas, will not be bound by an NDA. This means participants can freely share their experiences and even stream them online. According to the official post, "With access to the first 20 hours of the game and most of Act 1 of the story, you will get a taste of both spice and story."

To join the Beta weekend, players can wishlist and request access via Dune: Awakening’s Steam page or receive Beta codes during the game’s global broadcast on May 10. Stay tuned for more details on the beta as they are released.

The event kicks off at 12 PM PDT / 3 PM EDT / 9 PM CEST / 8 PM BST on their official Twitch channel. Here's the schedule to help you catch the stream in your timezone:

During the broadcast, hosts will travel virtually to different parts of the world to engage with players. Lead developers will also be on hand to delve into the game's intricacies, while content creators will compete in thrilling in-game challenges.

Excitingly, tens of thousands of Beta keys will be distributed during the broadcast, granting immediate access to the Beta weekend. Just a few days prior, the developers will host their third livestream, focusing on the game's base-building mechanics.
