RevenueReported

Series 18.5M+ units by Feb 2026

Below Zero-specific sales never disclosed; figure covers both Subnautica games (KRAFTON/Unknown Worlds)

vgchartz.com

Development budget: not publicly disclosed — checked KRAFTON's game page and press releases, Wikipedia, GameDeveloper and VGChartz; no figure exists. Unit sales: no Below Zero-only number has been published (KRAFTON's own page shows a placeholder); the verifiable figures are franchise-level — the original Subnautica passed 5.3M copies by Jan 2020, and Unknown Worlds stated the series (both games) topped 18.5M units in Feb 2026. Launch price was $29.99 (raised from $19.99 Early Access pricing on Jan 5, 2021, per Unknown Worlds). No estimated gross is derived because no title-specific unit count exists.
