Players are also encouraged to share their feedback so the studio can refine the game before release.

Subnautica 2 by Unknown Worlds is an underwater survival adventure game set on a completely new alien planet. Following a prolonged conflict, the Alterra Corporation offers the player a chance to start a new life. However, an unforeseen event occurs during the CICADA colonial ship’s journey to its new home. The ship’s artificial intelligence insists on continuing the mission, but the player finds themselves in extremely challenging conditions and is forced to fight for survival.
Subnautica 2 was released in early access in May and quickly sold millions of copies.

Now, Subnautica 2 has added native support for the latest DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution feature, providing GeForce RTX owners with the highest possible image quality and higher frame rates.
