Subnautica: Below Zero brings the terrifyingly beautiful world of the arctic ocean to mobile. As a scientist searching for the truth about your sister, you must manage oxygen, hunger, and body temperature. Build intricate underwater habitats, pilot the nimble Seatruck through narrow ice caves, and encounter massive, alien predators. The game offers a rich narrative and a massive, open world both above and below the ice.

Our Expert Score
Subnautica: Below Zero on mobile is a technical marvel. It manages to translate the deep, atmospheric survival experience of the PC original to a touch screen without losing any of the tension. The underwater biomes are absolutely breathtaking—the way the light filters through the ice into the deep blue water is something you have to see to believe. It captures that unique Subnautica mix of wonder and absolute terror when a massive Shadow Leviathan suddenly looms out of the darkness.
The mobile controls have been thoughtfully implemented, with the virtual joystick and action buttons feeling responsive enough for the precise movement needed in narrow caves. The crafting system is deep but manageable, and the 'Seatruck' vehicle is a brilliant addition that lets you carry a piece of your base with you as you explore. It’s a massive game with a genuine mystery at its heart, and the survival mechanics (especially managing your body temperature on the frozen surface) add a new layer of strategy that keeps the gameplay fresh. It’s an absolute must-play for survival fans.

Absolutely love it
Wed Mar 11 2026 Bee UnicornI will admit it can get confusing trying to find things at first but it does start to make more sense as you get used to searching. I’d highly recommend using beacons to mark hard to get to locations. The only thing I’m still confused over is the fact that there’s no multiplayer when it was implied before release that there would be. Otherwise it has been an absolute delight to play. The customization option for your gameplay is great since it makes more accessible to players who struggle with certain challenges like oxygen but still want hunger and thirst challenges for example.
Thumbs up
Tue Mar 10 2026 WordzplayaI love it! I really really like adventure! I have a question; when is Subnautica 2 launching on mobile? When?! WHEN!?! I’m a mobile player. Psst, I found console commands:)
Good but blurry
Wed Mar 11 2026 player54874I love this game, I have it on switch 2 and decided to get it on mobile because it does not run well on switch 2 and it deleted all my progress. So far the game is running at a sorta smooth 30 fps because 60 fps kills my battery life. But my only downside is the graphics settings keeping me at medium mode because textures look unloaded and the environment looks blurry. I use my iPad that is 2 down from the newest generation.
Always amazing game!
Tue Mar 10 2026 Radu_MacPhee96When it comes to Subnautica and Subnautica: below zero, even Subnautica 2 on Xbox —- I feel this game sets a new standard for play in this specific genre. Thanks to Unknown worlds for a great experience. :)
It’s pretty good
Sat Mar 14 2026 GhoulGhulIt’s a good mobile and I’d recommend playing it with a controller. Hopefully we get to see Subnautica 2 on iOS in the near future.
Amazing game! For people with full use of their hands, that is.
Sun Mar 15 2026 KellyNovemberAs soon as you add in full stylus support, and it works, I will give this game five stars. Until then, my disability in my hands leaves me in too much pain to leave more than one star.
This game, I love it so far
Mon Mar 09 2026 Epicgamer61I’m gonna be honest. The Og Subnautica was really good. Haven’t had the chance to play this yet but I just know it’s gonna be fun to play
