Fond memories of Subnautica linger in the minds of many gamers, with notable playthroughs by Mark ‘Markiplier’ Fishbach and Seán ‘Jacksepticeye’ McLoughlin standing out as highlights in the gaming community. The excitement surrounding the pre-release content for Subnautica 2 has been palpable, and now is an opportune moment for newcomers to immerse themselves in this acclaimed survival game series.
Free Weekend and Discounts
Beginning today, players can dive into the enchanting world of Planet 4546B without any cost. The free weekend runs from April 2 at 10 PM PT until April 6 at 9:59 AM PT, providing ample time to explore the ocean’s depths. For those who may not be able to experience the thrill of encountering an emperor leviathan, Unknown Worlds Entertainment is generously offering a substantial 75% discount on both Subnautica and its 2021 sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero. This promotion brings the price down to just .49 / £6.49 each, marking the lowest price point ever for these titles.
Players can access the store pages through the provided links, but they will need to wait a little longer to take advantage of these enticing offers. The original Subnautica boasts an impressive ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam, while Below Zero maintains a commendable ‘Very Positive’ score. Fraser Brown’s early access review from 2015 praised the game as “a stunning experience that’s a delight to explore,” and the game has only improved since its full launch in 2018.
The timing of this promotion aligns perfectly with the recent buzz surrounding the upcoming release of Subnautica 2. With snippets from the short series Voices from Beyond being gradually released by Unknown Worlds, alongside sporadic developer blogs, anticipation is building for the early access launch scheduled for May. Despite a tumultuous development cycle marked by delays and legal challenges, the hope is that the final product will justify the wait.
