Dune: Awakening Console Commands & PC Controls
What 'console commands' means in Dune: Awakening, the default keyboard and mouse controls, and how much of the bindings you can actually rebind.
Dune: Awakening does not ship with an in-game cheat console or developer command line. When players search for 'console commands' they are usually looking for the default PC controls and key rebinding. The default keyboard and mouse bindings are listed below; key rebinding exists but is limited for keyboard and mouse (per Prima Games' controls guide), so you cannot freely remap every action.
Short answer
Dune: Awakening does not have an in-game console, a developer command line, or documented cheat codes. When you search for “console commands” for this game, what actually exists is the default PC control scheme, plus a limited key-rebinding option for keyboard and mouse. That is the gap this page fills: the real bindings, from the controls guide published by Prima Games.
If you came here from a search like “dune awakening console commands”, the practical answer is: open the in-game Settings > Controls menu for the bindings you can change, and use the defaults below for everything else.

Key rebinding: what you can and cannot change
Per Prima Games’ controls guide, “Dune Awakening has limited key rebinding for keyboard and mouse.” In practice that means the Settings > Controls screen lets you reassign some bindings, but the game does not expose a full remapping grid for every action, and some actions are locked to their defaults.
Controller users have a fixed default scheme. Prima Games notes that playing with a controller is generally more comfortable than keyboard and mouse for this title, which is a preference signal rather than a requirement.
What “console” means in official wording
When Funcom’s patch notes and store pages say “console”, they mean the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms, not an in-game command console. That is why official pages mention console-specific features (performance modes, console-tailored UI and controls) while no page documents a command line. If you were looking for cheat codes, none are published for this game.
What we do not know
- Whether Funcom plans to expand key rebinding beyond the current limited set.
- Whether the limited rebinding option covers controller bindings; Prima Games documents the keyboard and mouse limitation explicitly.
- No official statement exists about developer commands, and none are documented in the official patch notes or help center.
Methodology: The default control tables and the “limited key rebinding” statement are sourced from Prima Games’ Dune Awakening Complete Controls guide (source, third-party, accessed for this page). No in-game console or cheat commands are documented in the official Funcom help center, patch notes, or store listing. Bindings shown here are the defaults as published; your in-game Settings menu is authoritative for any binding you have changed.
