Overview
- Subnautica 2, which unlocks Thursday at 11 a.m. EDT (8 a.m. PDT/3 p.m. UTC), will roll out as a single global Early Access release.
- Unknown Worlds opened Steam pre-purchase and a 72-hour pre-load window, an uncommon step for an Early Access game meant to spread downloads ahead of launch.
- The sequel passed five million Steam wishlists and the developer says every player will receive a Reaper Leviathan Statue blueprint from the start of Early Access.
- The game launches on Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store, and Xbox Series X/S with Day One access on Xbox and PC Game Pass, and the build supports optional four-player online co-op with cross-play.
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that a build of the game is circulating online ahead of release, with the origin unverified and some posts attributing it to cracking groups.
