Subnautica 2 System Requirements

Specs pulled from the Steam store page. Worth re-checking close to launch in case Unknown Worlds bumps them based on EA performance data.

Quick read. A 5-year-old mid-range PC hits the minimum spec (GTX 1660 / Ryzen 5 2600 era). For comfortable play, aim for an RTX 3070 or better and 16 GB RAM. ROG Xbox Ally support is officially listed, and Steam Deck status is tracked on the dedicated Verified page.

Heads up
EA games often add VRAM or CPU pressure as content lands. Leave some headroom.
