Minecraft Dungeons 2 updates, DLC and what comes next

Minecraft Dungeons 2 has been out since 29 September 2026. This page follows it from here: every update and what it changed, what Mojang has and has not said about DLC 1 and DLC 2, how the Steam Deck version stands, and the dates the calendar already holds.

Title updates

Every Minecraft Dungeons 2 update and what it changed

Newest first, grouped by mode. A plain fix is marked as a fix; anything that changes how the game plays is marked as tuning.

  1. 1 October update Tuning Latest

    Playable on Steam Deck, and room for 99,999 emeralds

    Steam Deck and SteamOS

    • The game now runs on Steam Deck; Mojang says the on-screen keyboard may still be missing and more fixes are coming before full verification.

    Balance, every platform

    • The emerald cap rises from 9,999 to 99,999. It is a server-side change: nothing to download, and it applies the next time you log in.

Quick answers

What did the latest Minecraft Dungeons 2 update change?

The 1 October update made the game playable on Steam Deck and raised the emerald cap from 9,999 to 99,999 on every platform. The cap change happens on the server, so there is nothing to download; it applies the next time you log in.

When is Minecraft Dungeons 2 DLC coming out?

Mojang has not dated DLC 1 or DLC 2 or said what they contain. Both are part of the Deluxe Edition when they are released. The first game’s first DLC came 36 days after launch, which would mean early November, but that is a pattern, not an announcement.

Do I need to buy the DLC separately?

Not with the Deluxe Edition, which includes DLC 1 and DLC 2 when they are released. Mojang has not announced a separate price for either.

Does Minecraft Dungeons 2 work on Steam Deck?

Yes, since the 1 October update, but it is rated playable rather than Verified: the on-screen keyboard may be missing, and Mojang says more fixes are coming before full verification.

What is the emerald cap in Minecraft Dungeons 2?

99,999 since 1 October 2026, up from 9,999 at launch, so the wallet now holds ten times as many emeralds before it is full.

When did Minecraft Dungeons 2 come out?

On 29 September 2026 at 08:00 UTC on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and on Game Pass from day one.
