Prototype Builds

Access to seven early development Prototype builds were sold within the earliest access campaign, selling the Subnautica Special Edition, which included other items such as the Special Hull Plate Upgrade and extra soundtracks. The most notable is the change within the name from Descend to Subnautica.

Prototypes were originally going to be available as free DLCs for owners of Subnautica, however, it seem the developers have abandoned this plan.

There is no known way to access these prototypes unless the Special Addition had previously been purchased.
