Subnautica 2 EA update 1.2 is on the way, following the release of 1.1 on July 8, 2026. The second EA update promises even more new content than the first for those still enjoying the early access survival game.
As with 1.1, you'll be able to carry on from where you left off when Subnautica 2 update 1.2 does arrive, so there's nothing to stop you from exploring as much or as little as you want in the meantime. Either way, here's what's confirmed for the multiplayer focused Subnautica 2 1.2 so far.
Subnautica 2 1.2 details
Here's what's to come from Subnautica 2 update 1.2:
- Multiplayer prox chat
- Multiplayer revives
- Emotes
- Trading
- And more...
I'd hope that Subnautica EA 1.2 will be released in September at the latest, leaving plenty of time for the larger content update - with new creatures and a new biome - to come before the end of the year. This estimate is based on the 1.1 dev video in which creative director Anthony Gallegos suggests the major update will arrive "later in the year".
Since we're still a way out from EA 1.2, then, I'll wait until more information is released to go into more details. However, if you're eager to play Subnautica 2 with friends, this is your time to shine - especially with the addition of proximity chat to Subnautica 2 multiplayer. 1.1 already added a decent storage change which means you can place items in a personal storage box to prevent it automatically being used by the fabircator, but there will be a lot more multiplayer QoL changes to come.
