Xbox adventurers, a new update has been released and contains some long requested features and bug fixes.

Subnautica Xbox Update 1.0.0.32 Released!

Posted by acedude 5 years ago

A new Subnautica update has been released on Xbox One! We have been working hard to reduce crashing caused by Subnautica gobbling up too much memory. This is a painstaking process in which we trim memory usage by all sorts of game sub-systems. We haven’t solved all crashes, but you should find the end-game much more stable.

Here are all the changes included in the update:

  • Fixed a bug causing the controller to become unresponsive
  • Removed a false-wall in the Aurora locker room that could interfere with progress
  • Seamoth docking is now more reliable
  • Optimizations to address memory related crashes in the end-game

We have also added more verbose save/load error messages. If you encounter a problem saving or loading …

Below Zero on Xbox & PlayStation – When?

Posted by acedude 5 years ago

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 …

Accelerating Subnautica Xbox Development

Posted by acedude 6 years ago

Subnautica has been in development on Xbox One for quite a while now. We’re painfully aware of how long you’ve been waiting for us to finish the game. We’ve struggled to deliver updates quickly.

Moving a game from PC to Xbox is a difficult process. Subnautica is a big, complex piece of software. Lots of nuanced interactions with the host hardware need to be unpicked and rebuilt. Performance is a huge challenge, as we are bound by the Xbox’s fixed computing resources.

We were not moving fast enough, so we decided to shake things up and bring in outside help. We’ve partnered with Panic Button to finish Subnautica on Xbox One. Panic Button know consoles inside out. They have lots …
