I have ridiculously fond memories of Subnautica. Mark 'Markiplier' Fishbach and Seán 'Jacksepticeye' McLoughlin's playthroughs remain some of my all-time favorite pieces of gaming content, enhanced by the fact developer-publisher Unknown Worlds Entertainment cooked with the gas on full. The Subnautica 2 pre-release content cycle has really ramped up in recent months, and now is the perfect time to delve into the hit survival game series if you haven't already. 'Why is that?', you may ask. Well, starting today, you'll be able to play Subnautica for free all weekend long, and both the OG and its

We have released a hotfix that addresses a security-related concern raised to us by Unity. You can read more about the specific issue here: https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01/While the update patches out the flaw, Unity has said that, to their knowledge, no one has exploited the issue to date, and no players have been at risk. To help ensure that this security flaw can never be exploited on Subnautica or Below Zero, we have updated Unity following the guidelines provided. We have also had to make the difficult decision to disable all legacy and alternative branches of Subnautica and Below

Not many of the experiences on the best survival games list capture the spirit of Subnautica, but some give it a good shot. Breathedge is like the series' wackier, less serious cousin, where instead of exploring an ocean, you're trapped in space and have limited oxygen. If you're looking for something to keep you occupied while you wait for Subnautica 2, you can get Breathedge and eight more survival games for just $12 with the latest Humble Bundle - and as far as I'm concerned, that is an absolute steal.

Subnautica 2 has become one of the year's most talked-about games, albeit for reasons I don't think anybody wanted. A big legal brouhaha has developed in the wake of publisher Krafton abruptly dismissing the entire leadership team of Subnautica 2's developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment... Read more.

We’re excited today to release a new patch for Subnautica! Thanks to some of the incredible development done on the mobile version of Subnautica, we were able to port that work across to other versions of the game. This update will roll out worldwide and might take some time to appear across the globe.

We haven't heard much about the upcoming Subnautica 2, apart from the devs reassuring fans that it won't be a live service game, so fans are understandably excited at the discovery of secret new screenshots of the sequel... Read more.

Product placement isn't quite as rife in videogames as it is in movies and TV, but there's still a long history of collaboration. Who can forget how Energizer used Alan Wake to let us know how quickly its batteries drained? Then there's League of Legends' long-running partnership with fashion company Louis Vuitton, which has spawned everything from ostentatious trophy carrying cases to in-game skins. Fortnite, meanwhile, has become a big playable billboard... Read more.

In response to concerns that arose after publisher Krafton said the upcoming Subnautica 2 will feature co-op mulitplayer built on the "games-as-a-service model," developer Unknown Worlds has clarified that it won't be very different from the early access releases of the previous games in the series, and that there will be no battle passes or subscriptions involved...
