Subnautica 2 Players Beware of Fraudulent Playtest Links
Warning: The Subnautica 2 community faces a surge of fraudulent links claiming to offer playtest opportunities. Developer Unknown Worlds alerts players to this scam, emphasizing that no official playtest invitations will be sent via Steam DM.
Official Playtest Contact Channels:
