PS5 will seemingly miss out on one of 2025’s biggest indie sequels The Subnautica 2 PS5 release is looking a little worrisome at the moment as the game was recently announced to be going into early access in 2025.Sean Lawson Published 21 Oct 2024 FollowtopicsSubnauticaPLAYISMPlayStation 5PlayStation 4Sean Lawson We really loved earning all those Subnautica trophies from the watery depths of the planet 4546B. However, the Subnautica 2 PS5 release date is now up in the air as the game has only been announced for Xbox X|S and PC so far. Let's hope we still might be able to add this one to our list of the best PS5 games one day!Subnautica 2 doesn't have a PS5 release date yetSubnautica 2 just got a huge update thanks to the release of a brand-new and thrilling trailer (embedded below). While only a short trailer, it was certainly enough to get me and many other Subnautica fans hyped up. The trailer shows two new faces, familiar vehicles, nostalgic sounds, a strange-looking creature, and an announcement for early access in 2025 for both Xbox X|S and PC. However, PlayStation is nowhere to be seen in the trailer.The lack of any kind of PS5 announcement has left some fans worried about the future of Subnautica and PlayStation. While the lack of a PS5 or PS4 announcement has got me sweating as well, I'm also here to keep everyone's hopes up. After all, if developer Unknown Worlds wasn't planning a PlayStation release, why would they even bother adding Subnautica 2 sneakpeaks into the original PlayStation release?Sony also hasn't traditionally allowed games onto the PlayStation Store while in early access, with the notable exception of new indie Towers of Aghasba. Given that very boring Sony tradition, it follows that no PS5 or PS4 announcement has been made for Subnautica 2 as of yet. What I foresee happening is that once we get an official release date for the full game, we will also receive a PlayStation announcement as well.So, for now, we must hold out and wait for more news. It would be strange for Unkown Worlds to skip PS5 entirely with Subnautica 2 and the more I think about it, the less likely it seems to happen. All I can do is hope my instincts are correct as I need to dive into these deep blue seas once more. What do you think about Subnautica 2? Are you as excited as I am? Are you worried we won't receive a PS5 release? Should we consider adding either of the first two titles to our list of the best horror games on PS5?
