Subnautica is an ambitious game, and although we've done our best to make it accessible to as many mobile gamers as possible, we've had to exclude certain devices on which the game won't run properly. 

On iOS

These devices are not compatible 

  • All iPhones or iPad with a chip lower than A12
  • iPhone Xr
  • iPhone SE Gen 2 (2020)
  • iPad Mini Gen 5
  • iPad Air Gen 3
  • iPad Gen 8
  • iPad Gen 9

Please note that we are unable to exclude these devices from the sale of the game!  Be warned if you buy the game anyway: it will not run properly, and we are not able to issue refunds to iOS players ourselves.
