Subnautica Launches as Open-World Survival Game

Subnautica is now available on Android, allowing you to dive into the alien ocean world of Planet 4546B. Originally launched in 2018 by Unknown Worlds, this PC survival adventure quickly became renowned for its stunning underwater environments and compelling survival gameplay.

Subnautica: An immersive underwater survival experience

Take on the role of Ryley Robinson, the sole survivor of the crashed spaceship Aurora stranded on an aquatic planet. Unlike Earth, there's no dry land—only vast oceans filled with mysterious creatures.

Your survival depends on managing oxygen levels, hunger, and thirst while gathering resources from coral reefs, volcanic areas, and deep-sea caves.

Begin with basic scavenging for essentials, then progress to crafting advanced equipment, operating submarines, and constructing underwater habitats.

With help from an AI companion and portable fabrication technology, each exploration brings you closer to uncovering the planet's secrets—and finding a way home.

Prepare to encounter creatures ranging from Crabsquids and Stalkers to terrifying Leviathan-class predators like Reapers and Ghost Leviathans.
