Subnautica is an underwater adventure game set on an alien ocean planet. A massive, open world full of wonder and peril awaits you!

Unravel the mystery of this world teeming with creatures, both friendly and hostile, scattered with clues from a previous time.

So when I entered my creative mode save, when I opened the pause menu, on the bottom left of the blue pause menu section, was two things, ‘Dev’ and ‘>_’. It allows me to do coding and give me things instantly but doesn’t work in survival. I think it’s the Cheats Menu. However, when I left the game and re-opened the pause menu to look for the cheats menu, it was gone, like nothing happened. Huh? Is this a bug? And also, please fix the teleporting function of the Cheats Menu, as I can’t teleport to places in a vehicle. My vehicle got bugged, and stuck in terrain. Please assess, and bring back the cheats menu!
Runs like a dream, but…. (Updated review)
Mathew Swift
Update: I’m now getting these fizzling stutters about every 10 -15 seconds, it last about a second like a little glitch and lags the game / crackles the audio. Can this please be investigated. . . This game runs fantastic on the m4 1Tb iPad Pro. And, it has controller support. It looks gorgeous and so far z very few bugs. The only ones I’ve come across are controller related such as the controller not allowing you to delete placed build items or navigate the colour wheel. I will say I hope they later add an option for improved render distances or LODs on higher spec devices. The biggest part of this game is navigating and it’s quite hard to see or locate things at even a small distance. I do hope this is improved, but other than that. Amazing port. GET THIS GAME!

Bug when saving
Shakabrah.Ella
I think this is amazing, graphics are great and the gameplay has been awesome so far. Even though it was great, there is a bug whenever I try to save after not saving for a while. This bug pauses the screen on the saving menu and doesn’t go back, resulting in me having to reload at my last save. It hasn’t been too bad so far but I have lost quite a bit from it and had to restart some things.
Developer Response
If your game freezes on the saving screen, this may be because the environment or textures have not finished loading yet. We recommend disabling automatic saving in the options menu and only saving your game manually, once the entire environment is visible.
Great Game. Got So Excited When I Saw It And Preordered It Straight Away
Happy to be a gamer
I’ve watched so many gameplay videos of this game and now I finally have it in my hands. So glad it’s finally come to mobile. I’ve been waiting so eagerly for the release date and now that’s it’s here I’ve been playing this game nonstop since the release date. Thank you Unknown Worlds for porting it to mobile. Now I can join the many gamers playing this game. Now I’m going to dive right back in again. (Pun intended)
