To say that Unknown Worlds‘ underwater survival game, Subnautica 2 is popular would be a huge understatement as the developers have just announced that the sales for the game have surpassed 5 Million. A brand new update was also released that adds new content and improvements to the experience.
The first update focuses on refining core systems, improving co-op quality of life, and giving players more ways to explore, survive and customise their base. Their major focus of the first update is the Biomod system.
Biomods are a feature introduced in Subnautica 2, which allow players to temporarily borrow traits from nearby creatures to enhance their abilities. The update adds two new labs in the Coral Gardens and Axum Ruins, while increasing the number of unlockable Biomods from four to six. Players can unlock additional slots by scanning targets with the Bioscanner.
Other additions improve how audio logs work in co-op, which will no longer play automatically when collected, as well as improvements to Wrecks which now have additional routes and oxygen-based puzzles. The developers have also made building improvements which makes it easier to place the Tadpole Dock and Fabricator. Be sure to check out the Vlog at the top of this article for more information.
Subnautica 2 is currently available for Xbox Series X|S and PC (Epic Game Store and Steam) via Early Access. It is also available on Xbox Game Pass.
