The announcement timeline
The dimension is revealed
Minecraft.net names the Sift in its Dungeons II gameplay announcement.
The edition plans become explicit
Xbox Wire reports the future Java & Bedrock arrival alongside the Dungeons II showcase.
Dungeons II launches
The official product page now lists the game as available. That establishes availability, not a playtested Sift unlock route for every platform.
Java & Bedrock: announced window
A separate sandbox release. No exact update number is asserted here.
Which game and platform?
The official announcement lists Dungeons II for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Use the official game hub to reach the appropriate store for your region.
Platform availability is not a promise of identical regional pricing, unlock times or multiplayer features. Check the specific store before purchasing.
Choose the right version before installing
Choose Dungeons II if you want the released action-RPG. Updating Java or Bedrock does not turn a Dungeons II feature into a vanilla survival feature. The 2027 announcement still does not establish a month, snapshot or portal recipe.
Follow the official product page to the store for your platform. Its current availability listing was checked on October 3; regional prices, subscriptions and account requirements should be checked on the destination store.
