Current crossplay answer

Official store and Xbox messaging centers Subnautica 2 on PC and Xbox for Early Access/Game Preview, with cross-platform multiplayer listed on Steam and Xbox ecosystem coverage through Game Pass. This page should stay conservative: explain the supported platform family, then add tested store-to-store notes as players confirm them.

What to document next

The most useful crossplay page will collect exact invite steps, error messages, region/account caveats and whether a crew can recover smoothly when someone disconnects. These details are better than a generic yes-or-no page.

FAQ

Does Subnautica 2 support cross-platform multiplayer?

Steam lists Cross-Platform Multiplayer, and Xbox Wire describes co-op across the Xbox/PC ecosystem. Store-specific behavior should still be tested in live sessions.

Can PS5 players join Xbox or PC players?

No current Early Access PS5 version has been announced, so PS5 crossplay is not available now.

Is Game Pass the same as buying on Steam?

They are different storefront paths. The gameplay build may align, but store, invite and account behavior should be documented carefully.
