Heartfelt request regarding Subnautica Mobile optimization

Subject: Heartfelt request regarding Subnautica Mobile optimization for mid-range devices

Dear Development Team,

First of all, I want to say that I absolutely love Subnautica. Since I don’t have a gaming PC, I spent years watching creators play it online, and I fell in love with the beautiful graphics, the ocean exploration, and the amazing atmosphere you created. When the mobile version was announced, it felt like a dream come true.

However, many passionate fans like myself found out that our phones are currently marked as incompatible. I completely understand and respect that optimization is a very difficult technical challenge, and that you want to deliver the best experience possible without ruining the game’s visuals.

The reality for many of us, especially in regions like Latin America, is that high-end gaming phones are too expensive. Many players only have access to mid-range devices (like those with MediaTek Helio processors or Mali-G52 graphics). We are a huge and deeply passionate community that would love nothing more than to support your work and buy your game.

I would like to respectfully ask if you could consider finding a way to optimize the game for these mid-range devices in the future, or perhaps consider creating a dedicated, optimized mobile version or a “Lite” graphic setting. Even if it requires lower graphic fidelity option, being able to experience the world of Subnautica on our devices would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for your hard work and for creating such a masterpiece. I will keep supporting the franchise from afar and hoping to one day dive into Planet 4546B on my phone.

Best regards,
[Rafael]
