Subnautica cheat codes: Best cheats & how to use them
Breathe underwater.
Developers Unknown Worlds Entertainment blew us out of the water with Subnautica back in 2018. The underwater survivor gave us a rich and wondrous world to explore, while we crafted our way through the gripping story.
It spawned a sequel - Below Zero - in 2021, which was equally majestic. However, if you're new to the franchise, we recommend starting at the beginning.
Subnautica can be quite challenging, though, especially if you're new to craft-em-ups. And with the game's nightmarish jump scares, the challenge might be too much for some.
The compromise? Cheat.
We'll share a few cheats below, which will hopefully make your exploration through the alien ocean a little easier.

How to use cheats in Subnautica
To use the cheats, you'll first need to turn on the developers box. This is basically a small box that appears on the left-hand side of the screen, into which you put the codes.
On the PC, press F3 to open the sub menu, then untick the disable console box. Once you've done this, exit the menu and press the tilde key (that's the ~ symbol) to bring up the developers console.
It's a little different for consoles. On the Xbox, press Menu, presspress LB + A + RB to bring up the input box, then LB+RB for the same sub menu, where you remove the tick.
Then, once you see the Start Menu, choose the developers options and enable it. On PlayStation, it's exactly the same, but press L1 + R1 + X to bring up the input box!
