Unknown Worlds Surprises Fans with Updates for Subnautica and Below Zero

Alright, here goes nothing. Bear with me, this might be a wild ride:

—

August 12th dropped some bombshell updates for Subnautica and its icy cousin, Subnautica: Below Zero. So, Unknown Worlds decided to tackle a bunch of bugs in these games. But the kicker? They added controller support for Subnautica on Steam and Epic Games Store. Imagine that.

And then there’s this drama swirling around. Apparently, there’s a lawsuit against Krafton, accusing them of shoving Subnautica 2’s release to 2026. Why? Allegedly to dodge a $250 million bonus payout. Sounds shady, right? On August 12, Krafton responded to this whole mess in a courtroom. Legal popcorn, anyone?

Despite all this chaos, the devs decided it was time for some updates. Besides bug fixes, Subnautica now lets you use your PS5 DualSense or Xbox Wireless Controllers. Finally, right? This was possible because they updated the Unity input system. Who knew a software update could bring so much joy and prevent your game from freezing?

Switching to Subnautica: Below Zero, what got a facelift? The Snowfox vehicle. No more awkward collisions and alignment issues, thank goodness. They even added a pop-up for announcements. But, Switch fans got left out in the cold—no updates there. Hang tight, Nintendo warriors, more updates are brewing.

Anyway, the Subnautica saga continues with mysterious future patches. Let’s see where this wild aquatic adventure leads next.
