Subnautica 2 is finally here in early access, and it's immediately blown its predecessor's all-time concurrent player record on Steam out of the water, with a massive peak I can hardly keep up with as I type.
At the time of writing, Subnautica 2 launched a little over one hour ago, and in that time, it's already accumulated a whopping 463,021 concurrent players on Steam (thanks, SteamDB). To put it into perspective, the first Subnautica's highest ever concurrent player peak on the platform was 51,156, so its sequel immediately hit that, and then did nine times better – and that's not even counting its players on Xbox.
