Subnautica 2 has recently become a hit on Steam, despite the developers launching the title in Early Access. However, this is not a problem for the players.
What is the status of Subnautica 2? The survival and diving game Subnautica 2 is currently a sensation on Steam. With over 450,000 players simultaneously on the weekend, the title enjoys extreme popularity.
For the developers, this is essential, especially since they only separated from their publisher after a dispute and now have to finance their game themselves.
Accordingly, some gamers may have been cautious as well. The mere fact that the developers are releasing Subnautica 2 in Early Access instead of the full version still makes some players skeptical. However, fans are now explaining why waiting is a mistake.

A good game despite Early Access
Why shouldn’t you wait? For fans, Subnautica 2 is far from unfinished compared to other titles that go into Early Access on Steam. Reddit user Zenoran also explains the status of the game in his post titled “Subnautica 2 is the most polished ‘Early Access’ title I have ever played” on Reddit.
He even finds it shocking how polished the version already is. The movements in the game, whether it’s the character itself or with vehicles, are really good. Additionally, he praises the story of the game, which for him was almost like a series.
What do fellow players think? Other players also praise the quality of Subnautica 2. They write in their comments on Reddit:
- Far-Signature-9628: “I see people in the stream chat saying they don’t want to buy it because it only contains 50 percent of the story. Seriously, what nonsense, this offers more gameplay – I mean hours upon hours of playtime – compared to many full versions. It’s absolutely fantastic.”
- OcelotTerrible5865: “I’ve been diving into these Subnauticas for about 10 hours now. So far, I’ve only had to look up two frustrating things. Earlier, I accidentally stuck my repair tool on the back of my Tadpoles and then spent ages in the alien base scratching together silver for a new one. Good times.”
- ksiepidemic: “I played Subnautica 1 in Early Access, and this is miles better. For some developers, this could already be a finished product. If they add more, I’m excited because I feel that the purchase has already been worth it!”
- Grouchy-Can-5245: “[…] I hope that Subnautica 2, because it is so good on day one, follows in the footsteps of these games [Grounded and Abiotic Factor] and version 1.0 will be huge. It seriously has the potential to become the best game ever made in this genre if they stick with it.”
Subnautica 2 is already a great success on Steam. For the developers, this means taking a deep breath, but the players are also thirsty for updates and progress that will bring the title closer to the finish line.
