    To answer the obvious question - I don’t know whether this means it’s not coming to Steam, Epic Games Store or other PC storefronts, but it sounds like it’s a Microsoft-only joint for the minute.

    Apparently the dude couldn’t be bothered to check the steam store page:

      Lmao nice. Hopefully it doesn’t require Microsoft. Would love to play this on Steam Deck with my friends

        Looks like your good. It doesn’t say a Microsoft account is required like it does on other store pages like forza horizon’s

        (This may just be because the store page is incomplete)

          i played through the whole of below zero on a deck and it ran swimmingly! i think it was before final release too, so probably not even fully optimized at that point.

          Hard to say for sure yet, but there is no reason to include any absurd anti-cheat and as long as they don’t lose their fucking minds and decide to use some kind of insane drm, I reckon the answer is yes.

    The biggest spooky factor of Subnautica was being alone and surrounded by the unknown. I guess they aren’t going for that this time.

    Compared to the first, Below Zero was okay. I predict their third game is going to be “meh”.

    I thought they said they were done with their Subnautica series for now? Either way, hell ya this sounds awesome. Just hope they have respawning materials if it has more focus on multiplayer.

      Their latest game Moonbreakers was not the financial succes the studio needed. Which is sad I love e the game for everything it is. Hopefully it didn’t cost employers their jobs
