5月14日に早期アクセスが開始された『Subnautica 2』は、PC版およびXbox Series X/S版を合わせて発売から数時間で200万本以上の売上を記録しました。また、Steamでは発売当日に同時接続プレイヤー数が最大46万7,582人に達しました。リードデザイナーのAnthony Gallegos氏は、発売前の海賊版流出問題について公式Discordサーバーで回答しました。
Unknown Worldsは、『Subnautica 2』が5月14日の発売より数日前に流出したことを認めました。一部のプレイヤーは公式Discordサーバー内で、早期に入手したコピーを誇示していました。5月13日には、あるプレイヤーが流出したビルドの技術サポートを開発者に求めたことで、Gallegos氏がサーバー上で直接返答する事態となりました。
X上では『Subnautica 2』の記録的な早期アクセス開始が称賛されており、数時間で200万本突破、Steamでの同時接続数46万人超えという数字や、発売前の流出やパブリッシャーをめぐる騒動にもかかわらず好調なパフォーマンスを見せたことが話題となっています。ユーザーは海賊行為に対する開発側の的確な対応に注目しており、Kraftonとの法的な問題を抱えるスタジオにとって、今回の成功を名誉挽回の機会と捉える声が多く見られます。全体として販売実績や評価には圧倒的に肯定的な意見が集まる一方で、長期的な早期アクセスの品質に対しては一部懐疑的な見方も示されています。
