Subnautica 2 is out now in early access, and it's doing great, but if you're playing on the biggest modern console platform out there--PlayStation 5--the game is not available for you. Why is that? And is Subnautica 2 ever going to come to PlayStation 5? Here's what we know.

Some have theorized that Subnautica 2 is not on PlayStation 5 as of yet because the game is in an early-access state and is not available with a 1.0 version. Steam has its own Early Access program, which is very popular, and Xbox has its own version called Game Preview.

Sony does support some early-access games, but not as widely as Steam or Xbox. For example, Palworld is available on PS5 in its current unfinished state, as is Path of Exile 2. It appears Sony accepts unfinished games on a case-by-case basis, but without a dedicated early-access program.

Only three days have passed since Pearl Abyss shared the last update for Crimson Desert, but the publisher has now dropped another patch that makes some notable improvements to the game. It also fixes the issue with Damiane’s Elegant Carmine leather armor that sparked some backlash earlier this month.

According to the patch notes, the "abnormal" appearance of Damiane's new armor wasn't planned. The Elegant Carmine leather armor briefly covered up more of her body than usual, which caused some players to complain, and a few even review-bombed the game on Steam.

The new update also allows players to get rematches with more bosses in the game while adding a very powerful move for the main character, Kliff. With his new unarmed Blinding Flash Finisher, Kliff can finish a combo by going full superhero and unleash a hit that emits a massive shockwave. Damiane and Oongka have also been given their own versions of the Aerial Stab move. For animal lovers, there are new bears and wolves that can be used as mounts.

Are you hoping to unlock Metal Farms in Subnautica 2? Let's face it: Most survival games will have you put in quite a bit of effort just to gather materials. However, with this particular contraption, you can sit back, relax, and come back later when you need to collect resources.

Those who are playing on Creative Mode have almost nothing to worry about. That's because that mode grants unlimited resources, which means you can build whatever you want without bothering to farm materials. On the other side of the coin, there's Survival Mode, where farming isn't just expected... it's mandatory.

The Subnautica 2 Metal Farms sub-zone is a long distance away from the Lifepod. It's approximately 2,100 meters east of the Lifepod, or 850 meters from the Alien Ruins marker (assuming you've progressed a bit further into the sandbox campaign). Before you head over there, though, make sure you've already built a Tadpole vehicle. Not only does it speed up underwater traversal, it also protects you from hostile creatures--i.e. If you're inside a vehicle, it will take damage instead of your character.

If you travel roughly 250 meters away from the starting lifepod in Subnautica 2, you'll encounter a new biome that looks like an underwater desert. While you might be tempted to explore this biome, you'll get a message from your PDA that tells you to stop immediately. This biome has an extremely high temperature, and you'll receive a heat warning as soon as you get too close to it.

Naturally, with map space being so limited in early access of Subnautica 2, you'll want to equip whatever equipment is necessary to explore this new area. We'll show you what you need and how to get it so you won't see another heat warning again.

Normally, the waters around the lifepod in Subnautica 2 are roughly 20 degrees Celsius. However, when you start to approach the hotter biome on the map, you'll see a red half-circle with a temperature above it that reads anywhere from 30 to 80 degrees. By default in Subnautica 2, your character can't withstand temperatures over 80 degrees, but even from 30-70 degrees, you'll start to take damage the longer you stay in these hotter waters.
