Valve has certified Subnautica 2 as Steam Deck Verified ahead of its May 14 launch, confirming it runs start to finish with the handheld’s built-in display and controls.
That matters because many games receive the badge only after release; while verification does not guarantee strong performance, it does signal the sequel should be playable on day one.
Subnautica 2 is currently Steam’s most-wishlisted game and has added nearly 20,000 wishlists over seven days, far ahead of the roughly 8,000 gained by the next-closest title.
The sequel arrives after the original Subnautica scored 87 on Metacritic and sold millions, while 2021 spinoff Below Zero earned an 82 and a smaller commercial response.
