Subnautica Update 84 on Xbox One

Posted by acedude 6 years ago

Subnautica Update 84 is now available on Xbox One. Update 84 contains all the content of the Steam version – including rocket bug fixing. Check out the Update 84 blog post to see the full change log.

We are still not ready to formally ‘release’ Subnautica on Xbox One. We have yet more work to do, particularly with regards to performance and stability. We are taking our time to ensure we release Subnautica properly.

As we work towards a 1.0 Xbox release, we will continue to release updates such as Update 84, which ensure Xbox players have all the features, bug-fixes, and gameplay that Steam players enjoy.

Subnautica Xbox One Launch Plans

Posted by acedude 6 years ago

Today is the big day for Subnautica on Steam. After five years of development, Subnautica is ready for release on PC. But what about Xbox One? We still have more work to do.

Today, at about 6.30pm PST, we are releasing an update on Xbox One that brings the Xbox version of Subnautica very, very close to the launch version on Steam. Even though Subnautica has not technically ‘launched’ on Xbox One, Xbox players still have all the latest goodies that Steam players do.

We want to take more time with the Xbox One version of Subnautica, because we don’t think performance and stability on Xbox One is up to the standards of a released title. We aren’t sure …

Minor Update released on Xbox One

Posted by acedude 6 years ago

Today we released a small Subnautica update on Xbox One. This update contains no new features, it is purely a performance and bug fixing update, so we won’t be making a song-and-dance about it.

This is the same update that was released on Steam a few weeks ago.

To see what we have been changing, check out the Checkins and Changes List and SubnauticaSCM on Twitter. To be notified when we next release a big content update on Xbox, subscribe to the Subnautica Xbox development mailing list and follow SubnauticaXbox on Twitter.

Subnautica Xbox Save/Load Hotfix

Posted by acedude 7 years ago

Good news, Xbox players! We’ve just released an update that fixes a horrible save/load bug.

Somewhat absurdly, this bug caused anyone in a UTC+N timezone, e.g. UTC+4, to have to wait N hours before they could save a game, and then N hours for every subsequent save. Max and Scott had a whale of a time tracking it down, but it is now dead.

This update contains no other changes other than the save/load bug fix. Of course, we continue to work on more updates that will contain performance improvements, content, and stability enhancements.

There may be other save/load bugs still lurking out there. Please let us know if you encounter any trouble saving and loading your progress on …

Cuddlefish Update Released on Xbox One

Posted by acedude 7 years ago

The Cuddlefish Update has been released on Xbox One! The adorable, squidgy, playful Cuddlefish is waiting to be your dive-buddy.

Cuddlefish on Xbox One includes extra work on performance, stability, and general polish. We hope you will notice a slightly improved frame rate on Xbox, though we still have great deal of work to do.

On save/load bugs: Cuddlefish does not fix the save/load issues that many of you are experiencing. We are very sorry about this. We have included extra error reporting, to help us ascertain the cause of the errors and fix them.

We will solve these save/load bugs. We have solved other ones in the past. We wish we were making faster progress, and are very …

Subnautica Price on Xbox One

Posted by acedude 7 years ago

The price of Subnautica on Steam will increase from 19.99 US dollars to $24.99 on September 29, 2017. This price increase does not apply to Xbox One Game Preview.

On Steam, we are confident we have brought Subnautica to level of quality that justifies a launch price increase. On Xbox, we have a great deal more work to do and it would be inappropriate for us to increase the price at this time.

We can’t give any dates or predictions for launch of Subnautica on Xbox One. There is a great deal of performance work for us to complete before we can do so, and we cannot predict how long that work will take. Rest assured we agree that …

Cuddlefish Coming to Xbox One, Save / Load Progress

Posted by acedude 7 years ago

Update 20 Oct 2017: The Save/Load issue mentioned below has been fixed

Original article published 22 Sep 2017:


 

The Cuddlefish Update is life on Steam. We’ve made solid progress on preparing it for Xbox One. We don’t know exactly when it will be released. The ‘build’ (a version of the game) is, we think, ready to go. Over the coming week it will go through testing by both ourselves and Microsoft.

If those tested pass, we will release Cuddlefish on Xbox ASAP. We cannot give an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), as any ETA we give will inevitably be wrong, and we don’t want to cause disappointment by missing an arbitrary date. The best we can say is, we …

New Subnautica Xbox Save / Load Issues

Posted by acedude 7 years ago

Update 20 Oct 2017: This Save/Load issue has been fixed

Update 22 Sep 2017: Progress on Save/Load issues

Original article published 14 Sep 2017:


The Cuddlefish Update was just released on Steam. We’re working hard to get that update out on Xbox One as soon as possible. At the same time, we are investigating widespread reports of new save / load issues on Xbox One.

We probably won’t be able to solve these issues when we release Cuddlefish on Xbox [Update 22 Sep 2017: We likely will solve these issues with Cuddlefish]. However, we may introduce enhanced error reporting, that will allow us to better understand what is happening. With more information, we will be better able to …
