The performance increase in the new Subnautica 2 update is incredible!

The only thing that has changed between this side by side is that I ADDED more things to the big base on the left.

I am genuinely so impressed by how large of an increase in performance this is, well done devs.

(edit) I would also like to add that both of these clips were recorded while playing the game at the highest graphics settings it would allow!

I screamed and accidentally took a photo

I didn’t realize I took a photo until after I had escaped and now I have this terrifying memory of my first encounter 🥲

Without spoilers, how is everyone like SN2?

I haven’t been able to get it yet because I became a dad a year ago so all of my money and free time is going towards caring for my little one. How is everyone liking the game? How does it compare to the first one? SN1 is one of my favorite games so I’m hoping to get my hands on this one soon.

EDIT: Thank you to everyone for responding! It makes me happy to hear that it’s having such a strong start in the early access. I really can’t wait to get my hands on it if I ever find the time and money to do so.

Will I like No Man's Sky if I like Subnautica?

Subnautica is one of my favorite games. I was really excited for the early access launch of Subnautica 2 a few months ago, but I had to refund it because it wouldn't even start on my laptop. Is No Man's Sky a good substitute? I mainly enjoy Subnautica because of the exploration, animals and building underwater bases. I didn't like Outer Wilds because of the time loop mechanic.
