The update's core focus is a dramatic transformation of underwater environments. Previously underwhelming, the oceans and lakes now boast incredible depth, challenging conditions, and captivating bioluminescent lifeforms. Specialized suit modules are crucial for survival in the crushing depths and eternal darkness. A new pressure indicator adds to the immersive experience.

Shallow water visuals have also undergone a stunning overhaul, showcasing vibrant, realistic lighting. New marine life, from playful seahorses to colossal squids, inhabits these revamped underwater realms, making base-building underwater a thrilling, Subnautica-esque adventure.

Accessible after completing a storyline segment and acquiring a new engine, these gas giants offer rich resources and a challenging environment of storms, lightning, radiation, and extreme heat. Despite the dangers, players can land on their rocky cores.
Adding to the exploration, Relic Worlds, planets teeming with ancient ruins, offer new artifacts and glimpses into lost civilizations.
