Subnautica 3 still in the beginning
The downer in the good news: Subnautica 3, or what the game will eventually be called, is still early in development.
It is possible, however, that players will get their access before the full release, as the last two games were released on Steam in Early Access and were developed live. However, this has not been explicitly stated so far.
One of the best survival games
Subnautica is an absolute survival hit and has earned its place in all of our survival recommendations.
Subnautica: I love this open-world game, even though it scares me
Subnautica is also highly recommended for survival beginners, as it takes many elements from adventure games and the survival mechanics can even be completely deactivated.
