Arriving on February 17th, Subnautica will become native to Nintendo Switch 2. The underwater survival game, which originally launched in 2018, has since become one of the most beloved in its genre. It would eventually make the jump to Nintendo Switch in 2021, although due to the hardware being a bit underpowered when compared to other platforms, this has generally been seen as the worst version of the game to play. Now, Subnautica is getting upgraded for Switch 2 and will be able to perform at 60 frames per second. When docked, Subnautica will also be able to reach a 1440p resolution, with the handheld version being set to 1080p.
Best of all, Subnautica isn’t the only game in the series that’s coming to Switch 2. The arctic-themed spin-off, Subnautica: Below Zero, will also be arriving on the new Nintendo console on February 17th. This will make the entire Subnautica series better than ever on Nintendo hardware, which should thrill those who play on Switch 2.
For those who already own Subnautica and/or Subnautica: Below Zero on Nintendo Switch, this new version on Switch 2 also won’t cost anything. Unknown Worlds is releasing it merely as a free upgrade for Switch 2 that will be readily available to download. Anyone looking to pick up either Subnautica game on the eShop in lieu of this update’s release can expect to pay $30 for each title.
