Alright, here we go. Bear with me, this might be a wild ride.

So, picture this: it’s August 12th, 2025. You know how these days are—I’m halfway through making my morning coffee, and bam! Unknown Worlds drops a bombshell. They updated Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero. Honestly, I wasn’t ready. This isn’t just any day. It’s the kind of day where your cat knocks over your cereal, milk everywhere… and, oh right, these games get some patches.
But we’re not talking tiny tweaks here. Subnautica, the original sea-exploring game we all got lost in, suddenly has controller support for all those Steam and Epic Games Store users. No joke. I mean, look, I still remember the feeling of jumping at shadows in that game… I might be a little too invested.
Anyway—wait, so, there’s this whole drama going on. Unknown Worlds was in a legal tangle with Krafton. Something about missing out on a $250 million bonus. Yeah, quarter of a billion. I stopped math in high school, but that’s a lot, right? Apparently, Krafton’s pulling the strings, delaying Subnautica 2 until 2026. You can almost hear the collective sigh from the developers.
Right, back to the updates—Subnautica’s team threw a bone to all of us saddled with controllers. Wired, wireless, you name it, it works now. One moment you’re fumbling with Unity inputs, the next, you’re gliding through bug fixes. They even got the Xbox and PS controllers singing in harmony. Well, more or less. Try not to stack SeaBase on Cyclops, though. Yeah, it does sound weird, but hey, game logic.
Below Zero’s patch notes remind me—Snowfox. It’s like your awkward cousin’s first car. Used to get stuck everywhere. Now, it’s had some work done, less clunky, less crash-y. Except, the Nintendo Switch users are kinda left hanging. Updates? Still in development, whatever that means. Fingers crossed it’s gonna be worth the wait.
Oh, and get this, Subnautica 2 isn’t even here yet. We’re talking two years out. Seriously, why are we still waiting? Who knows. Krafton’s courtroom drama hasn’t stopped the updates for the OG fans. Let’s hope they keep coming.
So, there you have it. Patches, legal stuff, and controller wonders. This morning was a wild ride. Now, where’s my coffee?

What just happened? Probably not normal, but hopefully entertaining!
