Subnautica 2: Multiplayer – Everything about Co-op and Crossplay

In Subnautica 2 you can finally fight for survival underwater with your friends in the franchise. What is possible, you can read here.

How does multiplayer work? You can invite other players to your game world in Subnautica 2 at any time, and they can leave just as easily without affecting your game. You host your game world for your fellow players. This means your fellow players cannot continue playing without you.

If you invite fellow players, you can explore, gather resources, and build together. There will also be the possibility to share save files, as is the case with the survival hit Windrose, so you can keep your progress – albeit in a somewhat cumbersome way.

Everything else you need to know about multiplayer will be explained here.
