00:20It's time. Early Access is here.
00:23For us, Early Access means open development.
00:26We're kicking off with a strong, playable foundation.
00:29The start of a journey that's going to evolve over the next few years until we hit our 1.0
00:33release.
00:34What we have on day one is the most ambitious starting point we've ever had.
00:38We have more biomes, more creatures, more leviathans, and more craftables and vehicles than any Subnautica Early Access launch before.
00:47The biomes we're starting with are fully explorable, progression-driven, and offer many hours of gameplay.
00:52Whether you're playing solo or jumping in with your friends in optional multiplayer.
00:56But it is Early Access.
00:59Some areas of the game are more polished than others.
01:01You may run into bugs.
01:03And the full story isn't here yet.
01:05But what's in the game is already a strong representation of where we're heading.
01:09We've done this before.
01:10And we know how to build these games alongside our players.
01:13Early Access will run for at least two years.
01:16During that time, you can expect regular updates.
01:19Those updates will include hot fixes when needed, smaller updates focused on balance and polish,
01:24and larger updates that will expand the world with new biomes, story content, and progression.
01:29Player feedback is a core part of that process.
01:32Whether you give that feedback through the in-game tools, or places like Discord or NOLT,
01:37that input will directly shape what we build next.
01:40If you're planning to join the Early Access journey on Xbox Series consoles, ROG, Xbox Ally Series, or Steam Deck,
01:46you're good to go.
01:47If you're on PC, let's take a quick look at our recommended specs.
01:52As you can see, we're trying to support a diverse range of hardware.
01:56No hardware ray tracing is required.
01:58And this is really just our starting point.
02:00We plan to optimize the game even more over Early Access.
02:04Hopefully, this will enable as many of you as possible to join us.
02:08The game has been years in the making.
02:10And as some of you know, the team has weathered a lot.
02:13But let me be clear about something.
02:15Despite any rough patches, our goal has always remained the same.
02:19To deliver the best Subnautica experience we can.
02:22When it was at its hardest, two things kept us going.
02:25One is the excitement of working on the next Subnautica game,
02:28and what we have is really special.
02:30The other is you.
02:32Your endless enthusiasm and excitement drives us to deliver something worthy of the name.
02:37At the end of the day, it's the same team focused on building the best Subnautica experience we can.
02:43When you buy the game, you don't just support the franchise.
02:46You support unknown worlds and all the employees who help bring this to life.
02:50Okay, so if you're ready to dive in,
02:53Early Access for Subnautica 2 launches on May 14th, 2026.
02:57You only need to buy the game once for $29.99 at launch,
03:01and you'll get every update and all our content up to 1.0 release and beyond.
03:06If that all sounds good to you, I only have one final thing to say.
03:10Welcome aboard, Captains.
