Overview
- Unknown Worlds reported that Subnautica 2 sold more than four million copies worldwide in less than one week, after reaching one million sales in its first hour and two million within 12 hours.
- The game launched in Early Access across PC storefronts and Xbox with day-one Game Pass availability and saw combined concurrent player peaks above roughly 650,000 and a Steam peak of about 467,000.
- Analysts and reporting estimated the first days of sales generated about $100 million in revenue, reflecting strong digital demand driven in part by roughly five million Steam wishlists before launch.
- Player response on Steam has been broadly positive, with over 74,000 user reviews classified as Very Positive, and the developer has pledged frequent small patches and larger updates guided by community feedback.
- The commercial momentum directly affects a public earnout dispute with parent Krafton, because the studio can now point to clear sales-based performance after a Delaware court earlier this year reinstated its CEO and extended the earnout window.
