We can't believe it! You, our amazing community who have supported us at every turn, have now nominated us for a Steam Award. We are humbled by the wonderful support shown to us over the years. The nomination for Outstanding Visual Style is really the cherry on top!

There are four other fabulous games in the running for the Outstanding Visual Style award. It's tough competition, but we encourage you to vote. Not necessarily for us, but for whichever game you believe is worthy of your singular vote in this category. And of course, don't forget to support other games in other categories too! The Steam Awards is a very special event for smaller studios like ourselves.

To our fellow nominees, a huge congratulations. To our fans, you've always been so supportive of us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this nomination of such high esteem.

With all our love after a remarkable release year,

The team at Unknown Worlds

...oh yea, and happy holidays!

Language pack support for Hungarian, Finnish, Slovak, and Polish.

This update also includes a fix for endgame dialogue in Sam's storyline, and some minor bug fixes related to translation and text sizing.

Finally, if you use console commands on PC, they're now even easier to access by using shift+enter!

The big day is finally here! Subnautica: Below Zero 1.0 is now available on Steam.

This update includes even more bug fixes and polish, improving on our final Early Access release, Seaworthy[unknownworlds.com], and also unlocks the endgame for all players. If you have a save file from Early Access, you can continue to play it and progress as normal!

Once again, we want to thank you all for your continued support throughout Early Access. Without your feedback, passion, and love for Subnautica, the game would not be what it is today. Please continue to give us feedback too, as you dive into the mysteries of Planet 4546B: support will be on-going for both games.

We hope to see you at 5PM UTC, Friday May 14th, for the Launch Livestream, to celebrate the release of Below Zero with you all. Make sure that you don’t miss it!

Keep diving,

The Subnautica: Below Zero Original Soundtrack is out now!

Composed by Ben Prunty[www.benpruntymusic.com], the soundtrack features 54 remastered and expanded tracks, which includes four bonus tracks. It totals two hours and 25 minutes, and is available to purchase for $9.99 USD.

Also, for the first time, the original Subnautica soundtrack is available to purchase from Steam.

To make the soundtrack more readily available, we've moved the soundtrack from the game itself to additional content. If you already own a copy of Subnautica on Steam, you will automatically be credited with a free copy of the soundtrack to download. You can find and download this directly from the game listing in your Steam Library.

Additionally, for the next seven days, any purchase of Subnautica on Steam will also come with the soundtrack. After that, it will be available to purchase for $9.99 USD.

We hope that you enjoy listening to the Below Zero soundtrack as much as we enjoyed working with Ben Prunty to help bring the world of Planet 4546B to life.

Hello, Subnauts!

As you may be aware, we were excited to introduce Steam Cloud save capability with the final Early Access update for Below Zero, Seaworthy[unknownworlds.com].

We have heard all of your feedback about how Steam Cloud saves have been working for Below Zero and have made the difficult decision to disable the feature.

With Steam Cloud saves enabled for the last several weeks, we can say definitively that it's not quite ready for prime time. For us, this boils down to two factors: speed and reliability. Steam Cloud saves are currently taking too long for some players, and we have also received a few concerning reports of saves disappearing. The latter seems exceptionally rare but where saves are concerned, we feel that it is better to err on the side of caution.

There should be no impact to your existing saves. They should remain locally on your computer and you can load them as normal. 

Should you need to access your save games on another computer, you will need to transfer your saves manually. You can find your saved games in the SubnauticaZero\SNAppData\SavedGames\ folder, or by going into the game properties on Steam and browsing Local Files. (The drive Below Zero is located on will differ depending on where you chose to store the game.)

We'd like to support Steam Cloud saves moving forward (it's something we want as players as well!) but will do so with a more robust implementation. We can definitely say it won't be ready in time for our May 14 launch but we are considering this a priority.

Thank you again for all of your support and feedback.

Happy diving!

What happens to my saves?
There should be no impact to your existing saves. Only that you’ll need to transfer them manually if you want to move them between computers. We have been assured that even existing saves in the “cloud” will be unaffected.

Help! My save files are gone!
Send us an email at subnautica-support@unknownworlds.com. We probably can’t recover them, but we would love to work with you to learn what happened and help other players. 

Can I download my saves that were stored in the cloud if I deleted them locally?
No. Well, not at the moment. Any save that is in the cloud should be preserved until we turn Steam Cloud saves back on. But you will not be able to access them until that time. They are both there and not there. Schrodinger’s saves.

Aw man, I love cloud saves!
Us too, we’re definitely bringing them back! We need a little extra time to perfect it first.
