Mobile version of popular title Subnautica releasing today
Fragbite Group AB’s (publ) subsidiary Playdigious is releasing the highly anticipated mobile version of Subnautica today on Apple and Google. First released in 2018, award-winning Subnautica has had a strong commercial performance on PC and console with millions of copies sold and top ratings from players.
Developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment and first released on PC in January 2018, Subnautica has achieved widespread critical acclaim and significant commercial success with millions of units sold on PC and console to date. Playdigious has ported the game to mobile platforms, a difficult task which demanded a high level of technical skill due to the game’s underwater theme and functionalities. After a successful promotional period with industry media attention, the mobile version will be released later today on Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
“We are incredibly proud to showcase Playdigious’ work on porting Subnautica, an iconic survival gaming IP. This was a tremendous challenge that our team rose to meet brilliantly. Many thanks to Unknown Worlds and Krafton for their trust and support throughout this journey. I am very excited to see how the players respond to the game!" says Abrial Da Costa, CEO, Playdigious.
“Subnautica has had impressive commercial success on PC and console and is widely considered to be one of the most successful independent game titles in recent years. It is an IP which significantly increases the strength of the Playdigious game catalogue. I have high expectations on Subnautica performing well for many years to come, as the longevity of the PC and console versions and their large fanbase, indicates that there is a sizeable market also for the mobile version,” says Stefan Tengvall, CEO, Fragbite Group.
