One of the key defining features of Subnautica is the ocean, and the amount of exploration the developers manage to pack into it. You might think there’s little to see or do underwater, but with different biomes to explore and depths to uncover, you’d be massively surprised.

With Subnautica 2 entering early access, it’s naturally got fans wondering about the new world on offer. Taking place on a whole new planet, with unique biomes and life to uncover, it’s going to be a brand new adventure—but how does it compare to the original?

Insider Gaming has got you covered, as we’ve got all the details on the Subnautica 2 early access map size, including how it compares to the other games in the franchise?

Is The Map In Subnautica 2 Early Access Bigger Than Subnautica 1?

According to developer interviews, the map size for Subnautica 2’s early access will be the biggest yet, with it exceeding the size of both Subnautica and Below Zero.

Bear in mind that this is comparing the map sizes to when each title was released in early access. Upon full release, the maps had undergone considerable updates, with new areas and depths to explore.

When Subnautica 2 releases in early access, the map won’t be complete, with certain areas inaccessible until future updates. So, in the grand scheme of things, the early access map might seem smaller than older titles, but when you compare them to their original releases, Subnautica 2 will boast the biggest yet.

How Big Is The Subnautica 2 Early Access Map?

Not many details have been shared regarding the exact size of the Subnautica 2 early access map, but it is supposedly several hundred meters deep

All the Unknown Worlds team have revealed is that it will be the biggest early access map release yet, and in the future, it will be the biggest map overall. As for how deep and wide the map is and exactly what content will be available, it remains to be seen.

It’s important to remember that Subnautica 2 is planned to remain an early access title for years to come, meaning new content will constantly be added to the game. If you’re hoping for a huge, vast world to explore straight from the get-go, you might need to temper your expectations slightly.

Should official announcements regarding the map size during early access be revealed, we’ll be sure to update this article with the latest information. But for now, you’ll have to wait and see.

How big do you hope the final map will be in Subnautica 2? Share your thoughts in the official Insider Gaming Discord Server.
