Subnautica 2 For PS5? Here's What We Know So Far
Subnautica 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-guides-hub/1100-6539935/) is out now in early access, and it's doing great, but if you're playing on the biggest modern console platform out there--PlayStation 5--the game is not available for you. Why is that? And is Subnautica 2 ever going to come to PlayStation 5? Here's what we know. PS5 doesn't have a dedicated early-access program Some have theorized that Subnautica 2 is not on PlayStation 5 as of yet because the game is in an early-access state and is not available with a 1.0 version. Steam has its own Early Access program, which is very popular, and Xbox has its own version called Game Preview. Sony does support some early-access games, but not as widely as Steam or Xbox. For example, Palworld is available on PS5 in its current unfinished state, as is Path of Exile 2. It appears Sony accepts unfinished games on a case-by-case basis, but without a dedicated early-access program.

Everything Coming To Subnautica 2 Early Access: Co-Op, Sprinting, And New Gameplay Systems
Subnautica 2(https://www.gamespot.com/games/subnautica-2/) has made a big splash(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-overcomes-pre-release-controversy-to-become-massive-hit-on-steam/1100-6539956/) in early access for PC and Xbox Series X|S, and developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment has outlined several planned updates for its underwater survival adventure. The developer says that its first updates will focus on gameplay improvements that address systems and smaller features before it moves on to larger expansions to the game world. Updates to the game world, biomes, creatures, resources, tools, and vehicles are in the pipeline, as well as the next chapter in the Subnautica 2 story. "The entire dev team has been working hard to put together some great quality-of-life fixes for our first update," the developer explained in a blog post(https://unknownworlds.com/en/news/subnautica-2-early-access-roadmap). "This should help adjust and address some areas that need a little tweaking to make your Subnautica 2 experience even better." Improvements to co-op(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-co-op-multiplayer-works-in-subnautica-2/1100-6539887/) are also coming in the game's 1.2 Early Access patch, with voice chat, player trading, revives, and more customization options being planned alongside improved HUD signals and base-building tools. Unknown Worlds stressed that the rough dates for each update can change. The studio also wants fan feedback to help shape the development of Subnautica 2, and is urging players to leave suggestions for what can be improved upon in the game through bug fixes, balance tuning, and optimization.

Subnautica 2 Is Off To A Massive Start
Subnautica 2 has been out for less than a day, and yet it's already attracted a massive number of players. Unknown Worlds Entertainment launched Subnautica 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-release-times-for-pc-and-xbox-series-x-s-revealed/1100-6539731/) on Steam and Xbox Series X|S at 11 AM ET, May 14. There was a ton of interest right out of the gate, and a look at Steam's most-played games(https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed) shows some eye-watering concurrent player count stats. It attracted hundreds of thousands of concurrent players on Steam almost immediately, peaking at 467,582. According to Unknown Worlds, combined concurrents on Steam, Epic, and Xbox topped 651,000. That dwarfs the launches of other hit Steam games this year, like Windrose(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/windrose-steam-numbers-show-people-want-pirate-games-as-black-flag-rumors-swirl/1100-6539469/). Subnautica 2 was the most-wishlisted game on Steam prior to its launch, and it's clear that those wishlists are converting into sales.

Subnautica 2 Is An Early Access Hit, Crossing 2 Million Copies Sold In Just 12 Hours
!Subnautica 2 Early Access PC Unknown Worlds Entertainment Steam(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/15/5aa73911/subnautica22.jpg.webp) Developer/publisher Unknown Worlds Entertainment launched Subnautica 2(https://gameinformer.com/product/subnautica-2-early-access) into Early Access yesterday, May 14, and in just 12 hours, the game surpassed 2 million copies sold. Subnautica 2 also reached 651,000 peak concurrent players across Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Xbox yesterday, making it clear that this highly anticipated underwater survival game is an Early Access hit. Subnautica 2 also has more than 12,500 reviews on Steam and maintains a "Very Positive" rating. Though Subnautica 2 still has a ways to go before matching its predecessor's sales, which sits at 18.5 million copies sold worldwide, it's off to a great start. Unknown Worlds Entertainment is Subnautica 2's publisher, but Krafton(https://gameinformer.com/2021/10/29/krafton-the-company-behind-pubg-acquires-subnautica-developer-unknown-worlds) originally filled that role. However, a lengthy (and still ongoing) legal battle saw Krafton fire Unknown Worlds Entertainment's then-CEO Ted Gill and other studio co-founders over allegations that they (and the team) had failed to get Subnautica 2 up to par for launch, arguing that Gill and others were even working on other games instead of the survival sequel. The legal battle led to Gill and others being reinstated and Unknown World Entertainment gaining publishing rights for Subnautica 2. Gill and co-founders Max McGuire and Charlie Cleveland argued in court that Krafton did this to prevent Unknown Worlds Entertainment from earning a $250 million bonus payout (which activates upon Subnautica 2 achieving certain performance and sales milestones), but that the collection period was extended to September. And, given how well Subnautica 2 has performed in less than 24 hours, it seems very likely the studio will get that bonus. Game Informer will be streaming Subnautica 2 later today, so if you're interested in seeing the game in action, check it out on our Twitch channel later. Are you playing Subnautica 2?
