You should do this before you open your save file to play. Just head to ‘Properties,’ then ‘Betas,’ and choose ‘legacy’ from the drop down. If you’re not quite ready to move to the new update, because you’re using mods on your save file or otherwise, you can also roll back to the ‘legacy’ beta on Steam to continue playing.

Bringing over PDA pause, the ability to disable light flashes, and item bars from Below ZeroĪs for bug fixes, we’ve closed out over 800 in total, including multiple issues related to base building (server clipping, deconstructing buildings whilst inside them), vehicle navigation and piloting.

Adding an ‘Unstuck’ button to the menu to help get you out of some sticky situations.

Adding the TextMeshPro plugin, to improve UI readability and visual quality.

On top of these changes, we’ve also refactored and optimized our save system, which means it’s now even faster and more reliable to save and retrieve your save. Now you can make your bases even more epic than before! We’ve also added some base pieces to Subnautica that were previously only available in Below Zero, specifically the Large Room, Glass Dome, and surface hatches.

By doing this, we’ve been able to implement several quality of life features, fix many outstanding bugs, and introduce some performance improvements that were already available in Below Zero. Our goal was always to bring both Subnautica and Below Zero onto unified versions of Unity, and with today’s update, that goal has been achieved. As you might have seen in some of our previous blog posts, a lot of time has been spent addressing a ton of tech debt and bringing across some improved code from Below Zero.

This update has been a labor of love for the entire Subnautica team. We’re delighted to bring you the long-awaited 2.0 update to Subnautica across all platforms.
