Unknown Worlds Entertainment released Subnautica 2 on Steam Early Access on May 14, 2024. The title achieved significant commercial success immediately upon launch. The game sold over 2 million copies within its first 12 hours of availability.
New modifications for the game are now available on Nexus Mods
The game supports multiplayer sessions for up to four players in its standard configuration. A newly released mod removes this restriction and allows up to 16 friends to play in a single co-op session. The modder behind this expansion claims the update includes cross-platform support, though this remains unconfirmed by the developer.
Additional modifications for the game are now available on Nexus Mods. These tools include a third-person camera option, a field of view slider, and the ability to kill creatures. Another mod introduces persistent loot mechanics. The creator of the persistent loot mod stated that core survival systems like health, hunger, and oxygen remain completely intact.
The rapid release of functional mods shortly after launch highlights the immediate engagement of the modding community. This activity occurred while the game was still in Early Access. The developer has not confirmed the stability or official support status of these third-party modifications.
