Description
Subnautica is an underwater adventure game set on an alien ocean planet. A massive, open world full of wonder and peril awaits you!
Descend into the depths, craft equipment, pilot submarines and out-smart wildlife to explore lush coral reefs, volcanoes, cave systems, and more - all while trying to survive. Unravel the mystery of this world teeming with creatures, both friendly and hostile, scattered with clues from a previous time.
Play in Survival mode to experience the original challenge, or switch to Freedom or Creative mode to discover this oceanic planet without the pressures of thirst, hunger, or oxygen.
FEATURES • SURVIVE – After crash landing on a vast underwater planet, the clock is ticking to find water, food, and to develop the equipment you need to explore. • EXPLORE – Manage your hunger, thirst, and oxygen supply as you dive into towering kelp forests, sunlit plateaus, bio-luminescent reefs, and winding cave systems. • SCAVENGE – Collect resources from the ocean around you. Venture deeper and further to find rarer resources, allowing you to craft more advanced items. • CRAFT – Build bases to shelter in, vehicles to pilot, tools for survival to aid you in navigating and adapting to this subaquatic landscape. • DISCOVER – What happened to this planet? What caused you to crash? Can you find a way to make it off the planet alive? • CUSTOMIZE – Play in Survival mode to experience the original challenge, or switch to Freedom or Creative mode to discover this oceanic planet without the pressures of thirst, hunger, or oxygen.

Im loving the game, but I've noticed something weird when I tried using an alien containment to hatch eggs, so I dropped 4 eggs with no problem and then when I tried dropping other eggs they just fell through the floor and landed outside my base, and I tried it again in a different alien containment with the same results and so far it happens with all the 1 block sized eggs and most of the large eggs except the gray egg with spikes and a blue&green egg and I hope the problem can be fixed

I absolutely love this game! I hope the devs see this. There is a game on Google play that is in early access, therefore you can't leave a review. The name is Subnautica 2 and it's NOT by this dev...the people stole the name. I've tried reporting it...but I wanted to bring it to this developer's attention. Hope you guys can get it taken down...stuff like that makes me sick. Thanks for making Subnautica for android, and hopefully we'll see the sequel! Great job!

Great port, runs smoothly on my settings. (Disclaimer: Of course not all mobile devices will run it well if you play on ultra graphics and 1000 fps. duh)

Stupid upgrades are not showing up in the modification station so are the prawn arms, and the heat generators don't work they are showing 75 but they just don't give me any power, and I used the energy power lines. It runs great but my phone is really good so expected that. Hate the tutorials' people made absolutely useless and if you make a map of the whole world ve kind enough and include the 4 dumb directions of the world. I was having fun now I'm angry, also the time capsules are bugged.

Gameplay is great, but has issues saving. I can't get past a few days without it starting to have issues finding the save path. I've tried reinstalling and manually creating the file path but no luck.

The scan is instant, I hate it. Below Zero is not even instant, why can't you do the same on this one
★☆☆☆☆Yuxiuna· Jun 27, 2026
Sorry for giving this game 1 star. The game itself is good. So why did I give it 1 star? Because there are no updates. It feels like buying a game, finishing it, and then that's it no further development, no improvements, and no new features. I also bought Subnautica: Below Zero to experience different features and a different atmosphere. Imo, you should continue developing what already exists instead of leaving Subnautica 1 behind and moving on to Subnautica 2? 3? 4? 5? Just dead game.
