This work took a little over three years, from late to early With all that time spent just making the game work, the developers had nothing left over for multiplayer.
The game's director, Charlie Cleveland, wrote on the game's official forums :. But we had so much to learn about the game, multiplayer was never a priority. Eventually we hit early access and now it would take many man-years to add any kind of multiplayer to Subnautica. We don't want to spend years more working on Subnautica before v1. Essentially, adding multiplayer to Subnautica would require either rebuilding the engine from scratch or devoting an entire team to squeezing it into its current iteration.
There wasn't enough manpower for that. At least, not in the development studio. In the fan community, however A Nexus Mods user called Sunrunner37 created a popular multiplayer Subnautica mod. Follow this link to download the mod, called Nitrox. From there you'll have to set up your own server that caters to multiplayer. Instructions are available on the Nitrox site.
If you want a more visual guide, follow the Youtube video above. The Nitrox mod is open-source and there's a Nitrox Discord channel , meaning users have dedicated a good deal of time to refining the experience.
That said, players are likely to encounter bugs as the mod is a work in progress. It shouldn't mess up your game, but it will probably result in some inconveniences during play. If you have issues with installation or use, the Discord channel and Nexus Mod forums can offer advice.
Nitrox offers most basic Subnautica gameplay with friends. The world will react to any player picking up and dropping items, and will even maintain the environment if players separate to a certain distance. Players can also build together, and the Cyclops will recognize that it has two passengers. One really cool addition is a chat function. Since Subnautica's original form is a single-player game, it doesn't have an in-game chat.
The Nitrox mod rectifies that and offers cross-platform connection. You can also get a Windows launcher that makes launching the multiplayer version of Subnautica easier. From there we'll pick up on new issues to track. Keep in mind that your issue may already exist. Please refer to the existing issues on Discord if you want to add new information about existing issues.

As a mod, it will provide a new dimension of gameplay to extend your enjoyment. Skip to content. Star 1. Branches Tags. Could not load branches. Could not load tags. Latest commit. Git stats 1, commits. Failed to load latest commit information. LiteNetLib c6eb View code. How can I play this mod?
