Summary
Unknown Worlds paired Subnautica 2 Early Access 1.2 with a $100,000 donation to nonprofit The Ocean Cleanup, extending conservation support tied to the series’ ocean theme.
Patch 1.2 centers on multiplayer features: cross-platform global or proximity voice chat, direct inventory sharing, player revives, emotes, and two added playable characters—Grace and Jegna.
The update also adds a tracking tag beacon and UI and base-building improvements, while a lengthy fix list targets multiplayer desync, power-system bugs, crashes, performance issues, and map exploits.
Unknown Worlds said it previously donated part of original Subnautica proceeds to The Ocean Cleanup in 2019 and plans to keep backing ocean protection efforts.
