Subnautica 2 has finally been released into early access after all the chaos and legal battles it went through for the past couple of years. With the game finally here, Unknown Worlds Entertainment has introduced a lot of changes that you should know about before deciding to buy. So, here is a quick guide to Subnautica 2’s release date (final), platforms, cross-play support, and multiplayer mode.

Subnautica 2 Release Date

Subnautica 2 was released into early access on March 14 at 08:00 AM PDT. The game will stay in the early access period for quite some time before a full release, which will contain a lot more content. Developers have revealed that they expect Subnautica 2 to fully release in 2-3 years from now, which sets the timeline to 2028 at the earliest.

During the early access period, the game will continue to have updates, adding more biomes and story content. So, you won’t be short on content anytime soon if you get the early access today. Other than that, the final price for Subnautica 2 will be increased during the official release, so getting it in early access can also be a bargain.

Subnautica 2 Supported Platforms

Subnautica 2 early access is available on Xbox Series X/S and PC. These are the only two platforms currently in the plans for Unknown Worlds Entertainment. There is a possibility that the game may be released on other platforms, like PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, at the official release of the game.

Subnautica is available on multiple devices, including iOS and Android, which gives hope that Subnautica 2 won’t be kept excluded later down the line.

Yes, as of now, Subnautica 2 supports crossplay between PC and Xbox Series X/S consoles. That means you can play with your Xbox console friend while playing the game on your PC. Now, any future devices on which the game is released may or may not support crossplay. As the developers have not revealed any further information on this, this is everything we currently know about Subnautica 2’s crossplay future.

Does Subnautica 2 Have Multiplayer?

Yes, Subnautica 2 supports multiplayer, allowing up to 4 player co-op. The multiplayer mode is a big selling point for Subnautica 2, which was missing in the original game. Players have been asking for a way to play Subnautica with friends, and although Unknown Worlds Entertainment didn’t end up adding the feature in it, having them add it in the sequel is still acceptable.
