Update 24 Jul 2017: It looks like Xbox One will receive a “3 in 1” update, though we can’t commit to a date.

Update 09 Jul 2017: We have crushed The Bug and are making good progress towards resuming updates.

Original post 21 Jun 2017:

Subnautica on Xbox One is now two updates behind the Steam version. It is missing both Silent Running and Voice of the Deep. We are tremendously sorry for this delay, and it is not our intention to leave Xbox players with old version of the game.

Why is Subnautica on Xbox behind Steam?

We want Subnautica on Xbox to receive updates at the same moment that Steam does. Unfortunately, releasing an update on …

The Subnautica Silent Running update was released on Steam a few weeks ago. Silent Running still has not been released on Xbox One. Why not? When will it be released? Read on to find out…

Why hasn’t Silent Running been released yet?

Subnautica is a Big Game™. The sheer volume of textures, models, animations, code, and other assets is very, very large. So large, in fact, that we have started to run up against some limits ingrained in Unity. Unity is a ‘game engine’ that we use to help create Subnautica.

To get around those limits, we have been modifying Unity.  The modifications are working on our Windows and Mac versions, but have caused serious problems, including crashes, for the …

Good news, Xbox One divers! We have just released an update that solves the save and load issue that has been plaguing saved games on Xbox One. If you have experienced an error message saying “Save data loading failed”, then this update is the one you have been waiting for.

If you have been unable to load a saved game on Xbox One, this update should allow you to load that game. Our testing suggests that the bug did not cause loss of underlying saved game data.

While we are very confident we have resolved the save / load problem, there remains a small chance we missed something. If you still experience save / load issues after updating Subnautica on …

Update 12 Apr 2017: An update has been released that resolves the issue.

We have got good news regarding Xbox save/load issues. These issues have been causing many of you to receive errors when attempting to load saved games on Xbox One. We think we have identified the problem, have worked out how to resolve it, and are in the process of a preparing an update for release.

Even better: Existing saves that are suffering from this error appear to be recoverable. The underlying problem was not, thankfully, corruption of the saved game data. This means that if you have a game that currently will not load, it is very likely that you …

Good news! The Infected Update has been released on Xbox One. We were able to follow the Steam release much more rapidly this time. We won’t always be able to do that, but we will try to keep it up!

Check out the Infected Update site to see all the goodies included in the Infected Update.

With regards to performance and save/load issues: The Infected Update is not a silver bullet that brings great FPS and reliable save/load. Performance is an ongoing effort, and we are still researching the save/load issue in an effort to full resolve it. Here are two posts talking about these topics:

Once we have identified the cause, …

Check out what’s inside the updates on the Precursor Update site and the Castles & Coffee Update site.…

Short Version:

Very high chance of release between 2nd & 6th of January.

Proper Version:

Hi everyone! We’ve been working to release the Bones Update Xbox for quite some time now. Charlie recently posted this explanation on the forums:

“Getting the XB1 version of Subnautica running as well as the PC version has been a HUGE amount of work. We vastly underestimated it. Max and Jonas have been working on it pretty much full-time for months and there’s still a lot to do. Jonas just did finished a big rewrite of a system that, although it won’t improve performance much right now, was necessary in order for us to make more improvements later.”

We now have a ‘build’ (A …
