Subnautica 2's System Requirements Could Have You Diving for a Little Extra RAM Just to Reach 30FPS at 1080p
Key Points:
- Subnautica 2's PC system requirements demand a minimum of 12GB RAM to run at 30 FPS on 1080p, which is significantly higher than the original game's requirements, potentially necessitating hardware upgrades for some players.
- The recommended RAM for optimal performance is 16GB, posing a challenge for those still using 8GB systems, although the developer plans further optimizations during development that may improve compatibility.
- Unknown Worlds acknowledged the current global memory shortage, making PC upgrades more difficult and potentially more expensive for players needing to meet the new requirements.
- Despite earlier speculation, Unknown Worlds confirmed that KRAFTON remains a co-publisher for Subnautica 2, although their relationship has been altered following a recent legal dispute between the two companies.
- The developer indicated that while KRAFTON is still involved now, Unknown Worlds might pursue independence again in the future, reflecting ongoing changes in their partnership.
