Subnautica 2’s latest early‑access update has just landed, delivering a host of co‑op enhancements while also announcing a generous charitable contribution.

The new Buddy System upgrade introduces proximity voice chat, allowing players to converse naturally, interact more fluidly, and even revive teammates during their underwater escapades.

Most notably, Unknown Worlds has pledged a $100,000 donation to The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit dedicated to removing plastic pollution from our seas.

Analysis: The substantial donation highlights a growing trend of game studios using their influence to champion environmental causes, setting a new benchmark for corporate social responsibility within the industry.

“Subnautica began with a love for the ocean, and it means a great deal to continue the conservation work we started with the original game through this donation to The Ocean Cleanup,” said Fernando Melo, Executive Producer at Unknown Worlds. “We will keep doing our part to protect the ocean we have spent so long bringing to life.”

The latest patch brings a fresh array of underwater emotes, letting players express themselves while submerged. If you and your crew have been itching to dive deeper, this update could be the perfect moment to do so.

Full patch details are listed below.
