Historical Factoid



In the early days of Subnautica development, updates did not have names. They had numbers, like Update 8. We eventually switched to names, like Seamoth Update, because they were punchier.

Under the hood the named updates continued to have numbers. Update 84 reverts to the old school: A Subnautica Update with no name.
