Notable patch note highlights
The Phase 2 update (0.2.0) was the largest Subnautica 2 patch notes release to date at 3.8 GB. It added the Abyssal Trench biome, three new creatures (Gulper Eel, Lantern Crab, Abyssal Jellyfish), the Seatruck depth module MK3, and a new base part — the reinforced observation dome. The Phase 1.2 Creature Update (0.1.7) introduced the Mantis Leviathan and the Deep Stalker, the two most popular new Subnautica 2 creatures. The Day-One Hotfix (0.1.0 → 0.1.1, 0.1 GB) fixed a critical bug where save files over 50 MB could not be loaded. Every Subnautica 2 patch notes release since then has maintained save compatibility.
