Comments on Subnautica for Android

★★★★★ Brenna Koeppen · Aug 25, 2026
Having played Subnautica on both PC/Switch, decided to give the app ver. A go. It's fantastic! Graphics are great, and it doesn't drain nearly as much battery as I expected even on HD. Particularly impressed by the control/UI adjustments for mobile. Your O2 consumption (and the game) pausing while in a menu/hot bar and the scanner being instant are two that REALLY help balance mobile controls being a bit more awkward. Looking forward to spending another couple hundred hrs in this game this way!
★★★★★ Muhammad Ali · Oct 6, 2026
A mobile port done fantastically, no performance issues and game syncs across multiple devices, so I can play on my android phone and android tablet with cloud saves through Google play games. They managed to lose no features from the desktop version on this port they deserve huge praise for that
★★☆☆☆ Casey Plumb · Sep 11, 2026
So far I'm not having fun... The tutorial absolutely sucks. No direction, no objectives, just wondering around aimlessly. I don't want to have to read a book or watch a tutorial to be able to play.
★☆☆☆☆ Alexander Barteaux · Oct 18, 2026
Game was good until I got to the point that I could craft the sea moth but it wouldn't let me craft it in the mobile vehicle station, i tryed twice and nothing happened other than it took my materials for it feels like a massive waste of the 10 dollars because I was barely an hour in but hopefully that gets fixed. After I got the sea moth successfully I was playing for a couple more hours and when I got to the aurora the game completely bugged and the modles are basically trapping me outside the map
★★☆☆☆ Will Lastnameguy · Sep 29, 2026
The early game is fantastic. But as soon as I hit the lost River it goes down hill for me. It's not the difficulty. At all. Avoiding danger is not hard in this game. It's the controls. You HAVE to use the Cyclops and Prawn suit. So you get used to a smooth ride in the sea moth, and now you have to use this clunky giant pos to navigate through tight spaces. And the prawn suit controls on mobile just suck. You cant use the grapple and look where you're going. I'm constantly stuggling to climb.

Description by Unknown Worlds Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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.

CAREFULLY REDESIGNED FOR MOBILE
• Revamped interface – exclusive mobile UI with complete touch control
• Google Play Games achievements
• Cloud Save – Share your progress between Android devices
• Compatible with controllers
