Subnautica Updates Amid Legal Turmoil
The ongoing legal issues surrounding Subnautica 2 overshadow the game's updates, which are surprisingly substantial. Despite the chaos, both Subnautica and its spinoff, Below Zero, received patches that address critical gameplay issues. The 2025 patch offers improved controller support and fixes some quirky bugs, like the PRAWN suit falling through portals. Meanwhile, Below Zero’s patch enhances the frustrating Snowfox, reducing damage from terrain impacts significantly. - The updates are essential for improving user experience, yet they feel like mere band-aids on a larger wound. The looming question remains whether these fixes can maintain player interest during the lengthy wait for Subnautica 2. Despite the turmoil, the original games are on massive discounts, making them a worthwhile investment for new players. Ultimately, while the updates are beneficial, they are overshadowed by the uncertainty surrounding the franchise's future. For fans, the original games still offer immersive adventures, but the legal drama casts a long shadow.
