You will scour the planet to find food, water, and materials to make the equipment you need to survive, from knives to diving gear, high-tech watercraft, and more.

Subnautica for PS4: Plot & Gameplay

Subnautica for PS4 is a first-person underwater adventure. In the new game, players are cast as explorers that have crash-landed on an alien planet. With water leaking in and death seeming imminent, you must scramble to escape. While not only escaping the wreckage of your ship but also salvaging supplies on the way out.

After you get through this first hurdle, the only way to go is down deep into the water. Subnautica’s breathtaking range of deep-sea trenches and sun-kissed coral reefs reveal its substantial ambition. Whether you’re swimming around underwater biomes, lava fields or a series of winding caverns, the watery environments of Subnautica are overflowing with all kinds of life. Making it your job to determine which species are harmless and which are not.
