Subnautica 2 has reached over 467,582 concurrent players on , setting a new record for the game. The milestone comes amid a legal dispute between Krafton and Unknown Worlds.

veteran Chet Faliszek criticized Kim's reliance on AI for legal guidance. He noted that half a million people are playing the game right now.

Judge Lori W. Will stated that internal projections showed the new title generating significant revenue that would easily trigger the earnout. Fearing he had agreed to a 'pushover' contract, Krafton's CEO consulted an artificial intelligence chatbot to contrive a corporate 'takeover' strategy.
