Subnautica 2 outpaces Crimson Desert, Slay the Spire 2, and more to become "Steam's fastest-selling 2026 game so far," analyst says

Subnautica 2.

Subnautica 2, which managed to sell a whopping two million copies selling in just 12 hours, is unsurprisingly still making waves – so much so, in fact, that it's beating out the likes of Crimson Desert and Slay the Spire 2 over on Steam.

Rhys Elliott, head of market analysis at Alinea Analytics, reports as much in a new article, revealing that the Subnautica sequel has "already sold 4.1 million copies in its first week, generating $100 million in revenue."

According to the analyst, most of these – four million of them, in fact – sold on Steam, with Xbox selling just under 100,000 copies, but it's important to note that "plenty of Xbox players got their hands on Subnautica 2 thanks to Game Pass."
