Krafton has announced free Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades for both Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero arriving this month, bringing notable performance and presentation improvements. The updates are aimed at taking advantage of the Switch 2 hardware, with higher frame-rates and additional enhancements listed by the publisher. Meanwhile, Subnautica 2 remains scheduled for release later this year despite a reportedly difficult development path.

  • Free upgrades: Owners of the original Switch versions will receive no-cost updates to the Switch 2 builds during the rollout this month.
  • Performance targets: The refreshed ports are expected to support 60 frames per second alongside other optimisations to smooth gameplay.
  • Visual and technical tweaks: Beyond frame-rate gains, Krafton says the patches include further graphical and loading improvements to better utilise the new hardware.
  • Bridge to the sequel: With Subnautica 2 still slated for release later in the year after a turbulent development period, these ports are positioned to keep both returning players and newcomers engaged.
