Summary
- Subnautica 2 is a multiplayer game that you can play with up to three other players at once.
- It even supports cross-play between Xbox and PC players.

Subnautica 2 has just been released in Early Access on many platforms, so you can hop into this game and even enable multiplayer to play with your friends. However, the multiplayer system doesn’t work through the usual platform invites system (like Steam and Xbox). This Subnautica 2 guide will explain the multiplayer elements of Subnautica, including how many players you can play with and how to do so.
How Many Players Can You Play Subnautica 2 With

Up to four players can play this game at the same time. This does not mean you need all four players at all times. Even two or three players can join and play together.
The game is predominantly made with a single-player focus, but that does not stop you from enjoying it alongside your friends. In fact, many players will likely find the game more enjoyable with some help from their friends.
How To Play With Your Friends in Subnautica 2
Hop into the game first, and open up the multiplayer menu. From here, follow these steps to easily invite or join your friend’s worlds:
- You will see a friend code in here.
- Share this friend code with your friends.
- You can use this same code to join your friends or invite them to your world.
Does Subnautica 2 Have Cross-Play?

For now, the game is going into Early Access for Xbox and Windows devices. You will indeed be able to play across platforms for these devices.
Unfortunately, PlayStation users will be unable to embark on their underwater survival adventure for now. However, this does not discount them from being able to do so in the future. Whenever the game makes its way to the PS5 and PS4, they will likely be able to play across devices as well.
