Mojang has announced Minecraft Dungeons II, and Xbox says the sequel is heading to Game Pass on day one this fall.
Minecraft Dungeons II has been announced for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Switch, Switch 2, Steam, Xbox on PC, and Game Pass, with a day-one Game Pass launch planned for fall 2026.

Mojang has officially announced Minecraft Dungeons II, with Xbox confirming that the action RPG will launch on Xbox Game Pass on day one this fall. The reveal arrived as part of Minecraft Live 2026, where Mojang used its official recap to position the game as an all-new adventure in the Minecraft universe.

According to Mojang, Minecraft Dungeons II is “the sequel to Minecraft Dungeons” and will feature high-stakes encounters, new challenges, and never-before-seen locations. The studio also says loot remains a major part of the formula, with players able to grab gear solo or share the adventure with up to three friends in co-op.

Game Pass is confirmed alongside a multi-platform release

Mojang’s recap says Minecraft Dungeons II is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Steam, Xbox on PC, and Game Pass. Xbox Wire separately lists the game under the headline “Minecraft Dungeons II – Coming to Xbox Game Pass on Day One This Fall,” giving the release a clearer Xbox and subscription-service hook beyond the broader Minecraft Live announcement.

That means the sequel is not being framed as an Xbox-exclusive release. Instead, Microsoft and Mojang are pushing it as a wide multi-platform launch while still giving Xbox players the added pull of a day-one Game Pass release.

Mojang is still keeping some details back

For now, Mojang has not published a precise release date beyond saying the game is coming this year, while Xbox Wire narrows that to fall for its Game Pass debut. The official recap also stops short of providing a deeper gameplay breakdown, suggesting Mojang is saving more detailed information for a later reveal.

Even so, the announcement gives Minecraft’s action RPG spin-off a clear return path. With a fall launch window, confirmed Game Pass support, and a full multi-platform lineup already on the table, Minecraft Dungeons II now has a firmer release frame than many of the smaller announcements shown during Minecraft Live 2026.
