Reaching the Alien Ruins in Subnautica 2 is like transitioning from the tutorial to the real deal. You’ve got to cross an open expanse, which a terrifying sea monster (the Collector Leviathan) calls home, and then you’re let loose in a new, even more difficult location. Before you travel to the Alien Ruins, there are…
Axum Bacterial Culture is a very pesky material to find and harvest in Subnautica 2. It’s very well-hidden and protected, but you’ll need to risk it if you want to craft a Metal Farm. As the name hints at, these handy little devices duplicate valuable metals so you don’t need to keep trekking back and…
It sure sounds like Sony is done sharing its newest toys with the rest of us. Following up on his report from March, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said today that PlayStation boss Herman Hulst confirmed to staff that singleplayer PlayStation games will no longer come to PC.

Yes! Hahaha, yes. I’m in full-on sickos.jpg mode today with the announcement of 17 new tags being added to the Steam store, with the very first entry on the list canonizing the name for what has become one of the most popular PC game genres in recent years.

A single skill tree upgrade in Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has sent its most loot-hungry players into a frenzy.

If you’ve had your eye on the Subnautica 2 discourse for the past few days, you already know it revolves around a single topic: to kill or not to kill? Long story short, players want a way to fight back against hostile sea creatures like Nibbler Mangos and Hammerheads, pointing out that the original Subnautica…
Think back to when coins used to drop into slots. Remember that unmistakable thunk! Or how about the staccato snap, crackle and pop of a flipper hitting a pinball? Coin-operated entertainment has captivated generations for more than 100 years. From the ragtag penny arcades of the 1890s, to the fluorescent-speckled arcade arenas of the…
Since Subnautica 2’s cetacean-sized early access launch last week, a contingent of its players have been vocal about their frustration over their inability to retaliate against its predatory sea life with their own lethal intent. Subnautica 2 devs at Unknown Worlds haven’t been swayed by those complaints, urging players to seek out one of the…
Elon Musk has lost his case against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for the very boring reason that he took too long to file the complaint. Musk sued over OpenAI’s pivot from nonprofit to for-profit (via a complicated restructuring scheme that has still technically kept a nonprofit in play), claiming that its leaders committed unjust enrichment…
Building a Metal Farm in Subnautica 2 is absurdly useful when it comes to duplicating rare metals like Troilite. Later on, when you’re repairing the Alien Power Plant, you’ll need a lot of this material and there isn’t very much to find on the map, so using a Metal Farm is a much better approach….
