PlayStation divers, thank you for your patience and assistance while we worked on identifying the cause of the recent save game bug. As we were working with the save game structure, we wanted to ensure that any potential fix would not cause further complications, so your patience with us was greatly appreciated.

We’d also like to give special thanks to those in the Subnautica Discord community experiencing the bug who provided save games to help us reproduce the error and ultimately resolve the issue.

This fix is now live for Subnautica on PS4. It may take some time to show up in different regions around the world.

Hello, Subnauts!

Subnautica: Below Zero is getting closer than ever to being ready for launch. We are aiming to release 1.0 in the early part of 2021 – as some of you might have guessed from our Nintendo Switch announcement – but still have bug fixing, optimizing, and further fine-tuning to do before it’s ready for launch on all platforms.

With the release on the horizon, we will be increasing the price of Below Zero to $29.99 (USD) across all PC storefronts (Steam, Epic, Discord, Humble) on January 5th, 2021.

This price will be Below Zero’s final increase and the cost at full release. The price increase will not affect any previously purchased copies of Below Zero, and Early …

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

Hello, Subnautica friends.

These are strange and challenging times we’re all living through.

I hope you and yours are staying healthy.  If you play Subnautica or Below Zero, I hope that our games bring you happiness and some kind of healthy distraction.

We recently released EA9.  Here’s a quick update on where we’re at:

• The new story is just starting to come online.  You can start a new game, experience the new intro sequence, and check out the new voice actors brought in to play Robin and Sam.  We are much further along in planning than we are in implementation, and you can expect a lot more story content in the coming months.  For now, we hope you enjoy
