Subnautica 2 Early Access Launches Wednesday (May 14)—Free on Game Pass, $29.99 to Buy
The underwater survival sequel everyone’s been waiting for hits Early Access on Wednesday, May 14 at 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET / 3:00 PM GMT—and it’s launching day-one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
Why this matters (it’s HUGE)
#1 most-wishlisted game on Steam right now—beating every other upcoming title
4-player co-op for the first time in Subnautica history (built “from the ground up” for multiplayer)
2-3 year Early Access period planned (like the original, which launched in 2014 and went 1.0 in 2018)
This isn’t a small indie sequel—this is one of 2026’s most anticipated releases.
What you get on May 14
Four-player co-op: Play alone or with up to 3 friends (cross-platform Xbox/PC supported)
New alien ocean planet: All-new world beyond Planet 4546B from the original
Multiple biomes available at launch: Filled with creatures and leviathans
Tadpole submersible: Explore the depths in your personal sub
Base building: Design and customize underwater bases (more features coming during Early Access)
The story: You’re crew aboard Alterra’s CICADA ship with 40,000 souls. Mission: establish a new home. Reality: Everything goes wrong (classic Subnautica).
Post-launch roadmap
First major update (coming soon after launch): New region featuring The Collector—a massive squid monster leviathan
Throughout Early Access: More tools, equipment, vehicles, biomes, creatures, and story content
Where to play Wednesday
FREE: Xbox Series X/S, PC (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass)
Buy: Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store - $29.99
Week-one bonus: Buy between May 14-25 and get exclusive Reaper Leviathan Statue in-game decoration
NOT coming to PlayStation or Nintendo Switch during Early Access (expected later for full 1.0 release)
PC requirements (it’s demanding)
Minimum: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 12GB RAM, GTX 1660 6GB, 50GB storage
Recommended for 1440p High: RTX 4070 + Ryzen 7 7700X
Built in Unreal Engine 5 with major visual upgrades over the original.
The controversy you should know about
Publisher Krafton ousted Unknown Worlds’ founders in 2025 after allegedly using ChatGPT advice to delay the game and avoid a $250 million payout. A judge forced Krafton to reinstate CEO Ted Gill earlier this year. Development has been turbulent, but the team insists they’re focused on “the best Subnautica experience.”
