Unknown Worlds has pushed an Early Access update for Subnautica 2 that prioritizes cooperative mechanics and player interaction. The update centers on proximity voice chat, which lets players communicate based on distance from one another - a foundational feature for any multiplayer survival game. Alongside voice communication, the patch introduces player revives and emotes, both aimed at strengthening the social fabric of co-op sessions. The changes signal Krafton's focus on polish and player cohesion as the game develops toward full release, particularly for those treating the early access period as a multiplayer experience.
- Proximity voice chat forms the core of this update, directly addressing communication needs in multiplayer sessions.
- Player revives and emotes complement the voice chat additions, filling out basic co-op functionality.
- The update reflects Unknown Worlds' priority on cooperative play features during early access.
