Subnautica 2's Early Access is proving to be a Leviathan of the survival game genre, having sold over two million copies in half a day with impressive Steam reviews to back it all up.

Developer Unknown Worlds announced the game's stellar sales numbers earlier today, revealing it had sold two million copies in only 12 hours, up from the one million figure it had put up within an hour of descending into the ocean's depths.

Even now, Subnautica 2 is firmly holding on atop Steam's Top Sellers chart above Counter-Strike 2 and Forza Horizon 6's early Premium Edition launch. Subnautica 2's launch has made such a splash, in fact, that it's spread out to the other games in the series – the original Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero are at numbers five and six on the chart respectively.
