Subnautica 2 lets you dive into an unknown world underwater, but some players want to spice up their experience with mods. Will there be any like in the predecessor or will fans be disappointed? We clarify.
Will there be mods at release? The developers will not offer official mod support at Early Access and release. However, that doesn’t mean you have to do without mods. As already in the predecessor, many dedicated modders have been able to provide a huge collection of modifications and QoL adjustments that make your life underwater easier.
There were over 1,900 entries on Nexus Mods – so you can see that the community will already provide mods, depending on what needs to be adjusted in part 2. There is also already a mod page on Nexus Mods for Subnautica 2. However, this is still empty, as the game will only launch in Early Access on May 14, 2026. From then on, fans will have the chance to dive into the new survival adventure.
What mods can be expected? That depends on how extensive the modders make their expansions and what innovations the developers want to implement in the Early Access version. In total, however, you can probably expect story expansions, quality-of-life adjustments for crafting, and bug fixes. Sequels tend to be better than their predecessors, which is why many issues from the first title might already be officially fixed in Subnautica 2.
So stay tuned to see what the developers have prepared. If you are still undecided about whether Subnautica 2 is for you, feel free to check out our release hub. This shows you all the important information you should know about the release: Subnautica 2: Release, price, early access and crossplay
