Subnautica Launches as Open-World Survival Game

Subnautica is now available on Android, letting you explore the enigmatic depths of planet 4546B. Originally launched on PC by Unknown Worlds in 2018, this survival-adventure game captivated players with its stunning underwater visuals and immersive survival gameplay.

Subnautica offers an expansive underwater survival experience

Step into the role of Ryley Robinson, the sole survivor of the crashed spaceship Aurora, stranded on an alien water world. No forests or deserts exist here—just an endless ocean brimming with mysterious life.

Scavenge for resources while managing oxygen, hunger, and thirst as you navigate coral reefs, volcanic regions, and deep-sea caverns. Early struggles for food and water gradually give way to crafting advanced equipment, piloting submarines, and constructing underwater bases.

Guided by an AI assistant and a 3D fabricator, each dive brings you closer to unraveling the planet's secrets—and finding a way home. Along the way, encounter diverse creatures like Crabsquids, Warpers, and Mesmers, or face the terrifying Leviathan-class predators including Reapers, Sea Dragons, and Ghost Leviathans.

Subnautica's Android debut comes with special pricing

The mobile version preserves the full open-world, first-person experience with three distinct gameplay modes: Survival (managing all needs), Freedom (no hunger/thirst), and Creative (pure exploration).

Beyond the ocean depths, discover two islands that provide scenic contrast. Dynamic lighting from day/night cycles and frequent eclipses constantly alters visibility and ambiance.

The Android adaptation features a redesigned mobile interface with touch controls, Google Play achievements, cross-device cloud saves, and controller support. Currently discounted 10% at launch, the game is priced at $8.99 (normally $9.99) on Google Play.
