The base game and Below Zero coming soon.

Subnautica, the survival game about exploring an alien planet almost entirely in oceans, is getting a port for the Nintendo Switch. There will also be a port of the frigid sequel Subnautica: Below Zero.

In Subnautica, players find themselves stranded on an alien world where they'll have to brave the world's oceans in order to survive. This alien world has plenty to offer, including mysterious alien ruins and wildlife, some much more aggressive than others. The sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, takes place one year later on Planet 4546B, where players are tasked with studying alien artifacts on a frozen world.

Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero will be available on Nintendo Switch in early 2021.
