Five platforms, 6M+ copies: Creating the undersea world of Subnautica

Since its launch in 2018, Subnautica has sold more than 6 million copies across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. With the early-access version of its sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, hitting #1 on Steam and its much-hyped recent launch on Switch, the franchise has gone from indie darling to mainstream smash hit.

So how did Unknown Worlds port a successful game series to five different platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, without compromising gameplay or tying up their top engineers for months? They relied on Unity’s multi platform extensibility.
