Subnautica 2 has rolled out another significant update, dubbed the 1.2 “Buddy System,” which places a strong emphasis on enhancing social interactions among players. This latest patch introduces several features designed to foster improved communication and cooperation within the game world. Players can now utilize proximity chat for localized voice communication, benefit from simplified trading systems, and express themselves using various new emotes, including the option to humorously applaud fellow divers.
This release maintains the title’s pattern of consistent updates, following a previous patch that adjusted creature behaviors to offer a less frustrating experience for those engaging in combat. The current “Buddy System” clearly shifts focus towards the communal aspect of Subnautica 2, promising a more connected and engaging experience for players navigating the depths together. With new ways to communicate and interact, friends should find their underwater adventures more collaborative than ever before. This report is based on information from Rock Paper Shotgun.
