Subnautica 2 cheat codes: Full list of console commands and item codes

With the highly anticipated launch of Unknown Worlds' underwater survival sim, you might now have found yourself a bit out of your depth, so allow us to pull you back to the shallows with some Subnautica 2 cheat codes, telling you how to unlock the console alongside a full list of item codes.

With the game being a roaring success, we think it quite all right if you make things a little easier for yourself. Let those other schmucks toil away; we’re here to make big bases and not get scared silly by our thalassophobia.

Besides, with the game being in early access, we’re bound to encounter a bug or two, so having some console commands to hand could save us from a bind not of our making.

Although you could make things a little less scary for yourself by bringing a friend along, especially if they can just pick it up on Game Pass.

With us having convinced ourselves of no gaming wrongdoing, let’s crack on and get to those Subnautica 2 console commands!

How to unlock Subnautica 2 console

Subnautica 2 hasn’t launched with a debug console in early access, but fortuitously for us, clever modders have already unlocked it for us. And you can do so for yourself by following these steps:

• Go to Nexus Mods and download UE4SS for Subnautica 2
• Find your Subnautica 2 installation folder (on Steam, you can right-click the game in your library, select Manage and then click Browse local files)
• Open the UE4SS download and extract it to \Subnautica2\Subnautica2\Binaries\Win64
• Download Console Commands from Nexus Mods
• Extract contents to \Subnautica2\Subnautica2\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods

Once you’ve done this, you can press F2 to access the console during gameplay, and then fiddle with Subnautica 2’s systems to your heart's content!
