Subnautica 2 explains multiplayer with a new trailer
Developers discuss the new mode

With a new trailer, the Unknown Worlds Entertainment team illustrates the genesis of the multiplayer mode in Subnautica 2. Although the gameplay experience of the first Subnautica is highly praised for its solitude, one of the most requested features by fans is the ability to play with company, and the studio wanted to satisfy users without the game losing its identity.
Subnautica 2's Multiplayer
For this reason, the multiplayer mode will be absolutely optional: if you prefer to swim on your own, know that every section of the adventure can be experienced solo. Subnautica 2 was built from scratch, and multiplayer has been present since the beginning of development, which is why every element of the game has been designed to be enjoyable both alone and with company.

The new mode required a significant amount of work from Unknown Worlds Entertainment: for example, from a visual standpoint, not only the classic first-person view but also the third-person view had to be considered, with all that entails for the character's supplementary animations. Access to multiplayer will be very fluid: you can easily switch from single-player to multiplayer and vice versa. Subnautica 2 is expected in 2026 on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
