The Snowfox




The Snowfox is the first above-water vehicle in the Subnautica universe. Travel quickly over land, all without touching the ground! The Snowfox can be upgraded with a jump module (coming soon), and comes with a speed boost ability built in. Build a Snowfox Hoverpad (with power) to craft the Snowfox and customize it however you like!

Snow Stalkers




A new beast appears on land in the latest update. A deadly creature with long claws and a powerful charge, Snow Stalkers are aggressive and best avoided. Especially when they are with their offspring!

Glacial Basin




Beautiful no matter the weather, the new Glacial Basin biome is home to an array of creatures including the Snow Stalker. Teeming with icy nooks to explore, this biome has a lot to uncover.

Chelicerate




Lurking in the new Purple Vents biome, the Chelicerate is a Leviathan-class creature with a nasty bite. Not much is known about this massive monster of the water.

Purple Vents




Explore the hauntingly beautiful Purple Vents biome, a shallow-depth environment. Underground thermal activity erupts into bright purple particulate, providing the perfect ecosystem for many creatures.

Seatruck Additions




Three new additions to The Seatruck are now available; The Sleeper Module, the Docking Module, and the Perimeter Upgrade.

Seatruck Update



Subnautica: Below Zero has received its first big Early Access update. Check out the Seatruck Update Site to see all the sweet new features in action.

  • Seatruck modular underwater utility vehicle
  • Terrifying Squidshark creature 🦑
  • Thermal Spires & Deep Twisty Bridges biomes
  • Playful Seamonkey and their nests
  • Intricately detailed Cargo Transfer Launchpad island
  • Lots of small Early Access improvements


The Seatruck




The Seatruck is a modular Underwater Utility Vehicle. Start by building a cab, then add and remove modules based on your mission requirements. Each additional module slows the Seatruck down. A reversing camera is included as standard. In an emergency, you can detach all modules and escape quickly.

  • Cab - Provides power, live support, cockpit
  • Fabricator - Mobile field equipment fabricator
  • Storage - Ample space for equipment & supplies
  • Aquarium - Collect live specimens




Look out for more Seatruck modules in future Early Access updates!

Squidshark




Lurking within the new Deep Twisty Bridges biome, the Squidshark is a serious threat. Its tentacles can ensnare even the most agile diver. Shark teeth and a powerful bite cause great damage.

Seamonkey




An ocean trickster, the Seamonkey will actively seek to steal your kit and swim off with it. Follow them back to their nests and you might find other valuable things they have collected.



Deep Twisty Bridges




Deep Twisty Bridges is a dark, red-accented region with depths exceeding 200 meters. Look out - Some of the plant life is not passive, and might ensnare you in the depths.

Thermal Spires




Rockpunchers and Bonesharks roam between these pointed ocean stacks.

Cargo Transfer Launchpad




Explore a richly detailed island, home to the Cargo Transfer Launchpad. Black sandy beaches, thermal pools, snow-dusted cliffs and intricate caves await you. At the peak, you will find a new Cargo Transfer Base along with attendant rocket launchpad.

Below Zero Early Access



Subnautica: Below Zero is now available in Early Access! Set one year after the original Subnautica, Below Zero challenges you to survive a disaster at an alien research station on Planet 4546B.

This frozen underwater adventure is a work in progress. As we did with Subnautica, we are building Below Zero out in the open. With your help, we will craft a worthy follow up to the original game.

Below Zero is full of bugs, runs poorly, and includes only a small portion of our planned features. It's also a game we're excited about. If you join us, we think you might enjoy this journey through Early Access.

If you would like to wait until the game is finished, please sign up to our Development Newsletter. We'll let you know as soon as the game is done!

Below Zero Livestream



You are invited to a special Subnautica livestream event! Please join us on January 30th, 6PM UTC as we premiere the Below Zero Early Access Trailer and launch Early Access on the Steam store.

Below Zero is not finished. It is full of bugs. It lacks polish, runs poorly, and is missing features. We are offering Early Access not because we want your money, but because we want your feedback. We make better games when we make them with you.

You can watch the stream on YouTube, Twitch, or on the Below Zero Steam Store page. Checkout the the Early Access site to see a countdown to stream start, and add the stream start time to your calendar.

We can't wait to welcome you into the icy depths!
