Subnautica 2 launched into early access and quickly drew 460,000 peak concurrent players on within the first hour. The game now ranks third on Steam's most played games chart, surpassing titles like Crimson Desert and Resident Evil Requiem.

Early access launch breaks records

Developer Unknown Worlds has been in a leadership dispute with publisher Krafton over a $250 million bonus. A court reinstated the studio's CEO and extended the bonus payout window. The high player count may help meet that goal.

Steam data confirmed the player count figures. Unknown Worlds has not commented on the ongoing dispute.
