Subnautica 2 has been announced, and it’s coming to Game Pass

Subnautica 2 has been announced.

The sequel to the massively popular survival game will be available for Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via the Xbox Game Preview program in 2025. The game will be added to Game Pass day one.

A trailer, which can be viewed below, accompanied the announcement.

“As teased in the heart-stopping trailer that debuted during the Xbox Partner Preview event, for the first time in the Subnautica franchise, you’ll traverse beyond Planet 4546B,” said Donya Abramo, community manager at developer Unknown Worlds.

“Whether you’re bringing the experience of your previous adventures with you, or are new to the Subnautica games, you’ll get to explore lush new environments, encounter fascinating creatures around every corner, and uncover the secrets at the core of this mysterious planet. But as familiar as things might seem to seasoned players at first glance, Subnautica 2 will offer new and unique experiences that will keep you on your… fins.”

Subnautica, the studio’s breakout hit, was released in early access in 2014, and would eventually come to all platforms.

The game had sold more than five million copies as of January 2020, with a re-emergence in popularity during the pandemic, largely attributed to streamers, increasing that number greatly.
