First of all, thank you for making Subnautica 2 run so well on Steam Deck already. It’s genuinely impressive for an Early Access title and shows how much care is going into optimization.
As a Mac player, I’d also love to share a small wish for the future: a native Apple Silicon macOS version.
The original Subnautica has a Mac version, and it would be wonderful if Subnautica 2 could continue that tradition one day. Modern M-series Macs are surprisingly capable machines, and supporting them could help bring the game to even more players without leaving behind a community that has already enjoyed the first game.
Of course, I completely understand that Early Access development and core features come first, so this isn’t meant as a demand—just a hopeful request from someone who would love to keep exploring this universe on macOS as well.
Subnautica 2 already has enormous potential, and it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to let Apple Silicon users experience it natively too.
Thank you for considering it, and best of luck with development!

@VoluminousArk835 I was able to get it running on my M5 with Crossover after a small hack that you can find on redit
