Subnautica 2 is gearing up for one of the biggest debuts of this year. The creators from Unknown Worlds Entertainment have confirmed that the game has already exceeded 5 million wish list sign-ups on Steam even before the start of Early Access, which begins on 14 May 2026.
Subnautica 2 could be one of the biggest hits of 2026
The new installment of the popular survival series has been at the forefront of the most anticipated games on Steam for quite some time. The studio has also launched the pre-order for the game and published the official system requirements. Compared to the first part, the production will be significantly more demanding in terms of technology. To run the game at 1080p at 30 FPS, players will need, among other things, 12 GB of RAM. The developers are also promising a significant visual leap compared to the previous instalment, new gameplay systems, and an even greater emphasis on exploring the underwater world.
The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass
In recent months, there has been much discussion around Subnautica 2, not only due to the game itself but also because of the conflict between the studio's owner, Krafton, and the co-founders of Unknown Worlds. Ultimately, the situation was resolved, allowing the studio to return to preparations for the release. The developers emphasise that Early Access is intended to be developed together with the gaming community. The studio plans regular updates and further expansion of the game after the launch. Additionally, it has been confirmed that Subnautica 2 will also be available on Xbox Game Pass for subscribers of the Ultimate version from the day of its debut.
Subnautica 2 is already generating immense interest ahead of its release and could become one of the biggest PC hits of 2026. Over 5 million wishlists on Steam show that players are eagerly awaiting a return to the underwater world of survival.
