Subnautica 2 Has Weathered the Storm: Release Date

Subnautica 2 has been at the center of an unpleasant dispute between the top brass of Unknown Worlds Entertainment (the development studio) and Krafton (the company that acquired the studio, including the intellectual property): a conflict involving eight-figure sums, which for now has seen the developers emerge victorious, but cannot yet be considered concluded. However, the success of the Unknown Worlds Entertainment leaders has had a significant consequence: we can return to talking about the game itself.

Where and When Subnautica 2 Will Be Released

Unknown Worlds Entertainment has indeed released a cinematic trailer to announce the game's release date. Subnautica 2 will be available from May 14, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S and PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox PC) in an early access version; furthermore, it will be released day one on the Game Pass service. The price of the game will be €29.99. Compared to the first chapter, the main novelty will be cooperative multiplayer, which we delve into in this article.
