Subnautica 2 is gearing up for one of the biggest debuts of this year. The creators from Unknown Worlds Entertainment confirmed that the game has already surpassed 5 million wish list sign-ups on Steam even before the start of Early Access, which kicks off on May 14, 2026.
Subnautica 2 could be one of the biggest hits of 2026
The new installment of the popular survival series has been among the most anticipated games on Steam for quite some time. The studio has also launched the game's pre-order and published the official system requirements. Compared to the first installment, the production will be significantly more technically demanding. To run the game at 1080p at 30 FPS, players will need, among other things, 12 GB of RAM. The creators also promise a substantial visual leap from the previous part, 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 a lot of buzz around Subnautica 2 not only because of the game itself but also due to the conflict between the studio owner, Krafton, and the co-founders of Unknown Worlds. Ultimately, the situation has been resolved, and the studio was able to return to preparations for the premiere. The creators emphasize that Early Access will be developed together with the gaming community. The studio plans regular updates and further expansions of the game after its launch. Additionally, it has been confirmed that Subnautica 2 will also be available on Xbox Game Pass for Ultimate subscribers from the day of its debut.
Subnautica 2 is already generating massive interest before 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 survival world.
