X-ray line searches are sensitive probes for many dark matter models, such as sterile neutrino dark matters. I will discuss the current status of the experimental efforts, including that of the tentative signal at 3.5 keV.  Then I will discuss some recent progress with NuSTAR and its prospects in the near future.  Finally, I will discuss what can be expected in the future for dark matter searches with X-ray lines.
