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

Hey everybody!

People have been asking us what our plans are for Below Zero on consoles, and I’d like to expand a little on what has been happening on that front since my roadmap post in July!  

We are planning to ship Below Zero on Xbox One and PS4. Our goal is to ship simultaneously with PC v1.0, but it’s probably too soon to know if that’s realistic. We have more work to do to make Below Zero as good as it can be before releasing it on any platform.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been working to improve our console efforts in-house. We learned a lot from the process of taking Subnautica to Xbox and PS4 (with …

PlayStation divers, a new update has been released! This update contains some long requested features and bug fixes.

• The Bladderfish scarcity in Safe Shallows is now resolved. After fishing, they should properly repopulate.
• We’ve added a language selector to the main menu. You can now override your default language with any of our community sourced languages. Language options have expanded to include Swedish, Chinese (Simplified), Latvian, and Slovak.
• Back by popular, community demand, theDeveloper menu option returns to consoles! Warning: some of these options can introduce instability to your game. To access this menu while in a game, press the OPTIONS button to bring up the menu, then press the right and left bumper buttons together at the same time.

PlayStation divers, we have a little update for you today. 1.08 has been released! 1.08 contains two changes.

First, we have fixed a painful issue with saved games. Before 1.08, Subnautica on PlayStation would fail to display an existing saved-game, and freeze when attempting to save a new one. The only solution was to delete the original, unseen saved game. This issue is now fixed.

Second, Japanese & Korean fonts now render properly. In the past, they would not display at all. This was… sub-optimal. You can now experience Subnautica with proper Japanese and Korean kanji! 🇯🇵🇰🇷

Good news, PlayStation subnauts! Update 1.07 has been released. We’ve been working hard to address one of the most painful issues for PlayStation players: Crashes caused by Subnautica sucking up too much memory. 1.07 doesn’t fix all crashing, but we have eliminated lots of crashes in the end-game sequence.

Here’s the full changelog:

• Photo albums now save properly
• Removed a false wall in the Aurora locker room
• Seamoth docking now more reliable
• Optimizations to address memory related crashes in end game

In addition, we have added more descriptive messages for game-saving errors. If you encounter an error saving or loading a game, please let us know on the forums, or on Twitter. Include the error description, and that …

Subnautica Below Zero is going into Early Access on Mac & Windows PC. We want to bring Below Zero to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as soon as possible. We don’t know when it will be, and predicting dates is a Bad Thing™️ – We don’t want to disappoint you by speculating about a date we don’t know we can hit.

On Xbox One, we may be able to release Below Zero in Game Preview (Microsoft’s “Early Access” program) before launch. We can’t promise this, but we are exploring the possibility. Sony does not allow Early Access games, so we will not be releasing any kind of preview on PlayStation.

We are aiming to release the 1.0 version of …

Subnautica on PlayStation has just been updated! 1.04 is a small update to address some crashing issues that popped up after launch yesterday. It also addresses a problem with world collision, i.e. stopping you and objects falling through the world.

We expected that 1.04 will not fully resolve the crashing problem. We are working on a more substantial future update that we expect will eliminate the crashing entirely. As always, we don’t give dates, because we don’t want to disappoint.
