How to download and use the nitrox subnautica mod

But we had so much to learn about the game, multiplayer was never a priority. Eventually we hit early access and now it would take many man-years to add any kind of multiplayer to Subnautica. We don't want to spend years more working on Subnautica before v1. Essentially, adding multiplayer to Subnautica would require either rebuilding the engine from scratch or devoting an entire team to squeezing it into its current iteration.

There wasn't enough manpower for that. At least, not in the development studio. In the fan community, however A Nexus Mods user called Sunrunner37 created a popular multiplayer Subnautica mod. Follow this link to download the mod, called Nitrox. From there you'll have to set up your own server that caters to multiplayer. Instructions are available on the Nitrox site.
