The game currently operates in Early Access mode on both consoles and personal computers. Community feedback continues to influence development priorities as the studio expands the underwater experience. Executive Producer Fernando Melo thanked players worldwide for their engagement during this early phase of the title.
The broader Subnautica series has moved more than 18.5 million copies globally. This total exceeds sales figures for other major franchises such as Silent Hill and Dragon's Dogma, which have sold approximately 17.1 million and 14 million units respectively. The franchise maintains a strong position in the gaming market.
A contractual obligation may require publisher Krafton to pay a substantial bonus of $250 million if specific earnings thresholds are met. This potential payout remains unconfirmed as details about the exact terms have not been disclosed by either party involved in the agreement.
