Subnautica 2 Finally Gets Early Access Release Date

The early version will cost $30 and support co-op for up to four players as Unknown Worlds plans updates over 2 to 3 years.

  • On May 14, developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment will launch Subnautica 2 into early access on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox, with the title included in Game Pass.
  • Tension between Unknown Worlds and Krafton has escalated recently after the latter removed senior leadership, culminating in Krafton disappearing from the Subnautica 2 Steam page.
  • The early access version will cost $30, with developers expecting the phase to last "2 to 3 years" before the full 1.0 release.
  • Co-Op multiplayer for up to three explorers will be live from the start, and Unknown Worlds confirmed the game contains narrative elements despite the limited early access state.
  • Unknown Worlds operates as a subsidiary of South Korean publisher Krafton, known for releasing The Callisto Protocol and supporting Tango Gameworks after its departure from Xbox Game Studios.
