Subnautica PlayStation Update 1.10 Released

Posted by Donya 4 years ago

PlayStation divers, we want to thank you for your patience while we got this update ready for you all.

The console team has been hard at work on some long-requested performance related bug fixes and improvements. The delay in shipping this update was due to needing to refactor the save/load system for PlayStation. This refactor should not affect any existing save games. The update may take a few hours to appear across the globe.

Here are all the changes included in this update:

Improvements

  • Save game improvements and logging
  • Performance and lots of under-the-hood improvements
  • Improved world streaming: You should no longer be able to outrun terrain or fall through the world in a PRAWN suit
  • Incremental garbage collection added
