Play Subnautica on PC or Mac

From the innovators and creators at Unknown Worlds, Subnautica is another fun addition to the World of Adventure games. Go beyond your mobile screen and play it bigger and better on your PC or Mac. An immersive experience awaits you.

Subnautica is a big underwater survival adventure on a strange ocean planet. It drops the player in a lifepod after a crash, and the first minutes turn into a scramble for water, food, and air. Every swim outside feels like a little expedition. Kelp forests sway, reefs glow at night, caves twist into pitch black pockets, and volcanic zones will roast gear if someone lingers too long. Wildlife is not just scenery. Some fish are easy meals, others turn the screen into panic the moment a light catches them. The loop makes sense fast, but keeps pulling deeper. Gather scrap and minerals, craft fins, tanks, scanners, then start building a small base that actually feels like home. Submarines open up longer trips, and tinkering with rooms and gadgets is calm and almost cozy between those jump scares. Old wrecks and scattered logs hint at what went wrong here and whether there is a way to leave.

Modes let players set the pace. Survival keeps hunger, thirst, and oxygen in play. Freedom drops the food and water grind so exploration takes the lead. Creative removes the pressure and turns it into a sandbox for building and roaming. The mobile build runs fine on a PC through BlueStacks, and the clean interface plus controller support make it easy to play at a desk. If slow discovery, crafting, and the tension of open water sounds good, this hits a very specific spot.

Slay your opponents with your epic moves. Play it your way on BlueStacks and dominate the battlefield.
