Subnautica 2 Leaked Ahead of Early Access Launch
Subnautica 2, an aquatic survival adventure, is set to launch in early access for Xbox Series X/S and PC on Thursday, May 14. However, it appears that the game has been leaked, with screenshots and a clip of PC gameplay posted on reddit. This leak comes just days after players managed to access LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and Forza Horizon 6 before their official launch dates.
A reddit user posted what seems to be a quick walkthrough of an early section of the game, followed by a scroll through the game’s visual menu. The leak shows PC options to alter the game’s windowed settings and visual upscaling method. It is believed that an unknown person streamed the game after obtaining a working copy.
Previous Leaks and Reactions
Forza Horizon 6 developer Playground Games recently issued a warning to players who accessed the game’s leaked build, stating that they risked incurring “franchise-wide and hardware bans”. The studio has since followed through with this threat, banning at least one player until the year 10,000. The cause of the leak remains unclear, with speculation that it may have been due to an unlocked version of the game being pushed live in error by Microsoft.
Similarly, a reddit user was able to play LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight on their Xbox after redeeming a digital download code. It is thought that the digital code may have been incorrectly assigned to download the full launch version of the game rather than a smaller pre-order file.
