Subnautica 2 Early Access, update by update
Unknown Worlds has kept a steady rhythm since Subnautica 2 reached Early Access in May: small hotfixes first, then two numbered updates over the summer. Adaptive Measures is the one that changed how the game plays, since creatures now react when you hit them. Buddy System is the one to read if you play co-op.
