To begin, you crash land on an aliment planet with a world of underwater wonder. While trying to survive the watery landscape, you’ll need to find water, food, and develop the equipment needed to explore.

During dives, you’ll need to manage hunger, thirst, and oxygen supply while encountering friendly and hostile creates and scattered clues from a previous time. Collecting resources from the ocean will help you craft more advanced items.

Some items you’ll look to build include a shelter, vehicles to pilot, tools for survival, and aids for navigation.

There are multiple ways to play. Along with the original challenge, you can also switch to Freedom or Creative mode without the extra pressure of thirst, hunger, or oxygen.

The game sports a revamped interface with complete touch control and is optimized for the iPhone 16 lineup. You can also use a MFi controller.

Designed for the iPhone and iPad, Subnautica is an $8.99 download now on the App Store. Before downloading, make sure the game is compatible with your device. All of that information is on the app’s description page.
