"Subnautica 2 just got its first major update, and now you can fight back against the creatures trying to eat you. The Adaptive Measures Patch adds combat, hit enemies and they flinch and retreat, and a sound tool can stun them unconscious. Bigger news is the roadmap. The next update focuses on co-op with voice chat and reviving allies. The game passed 4 million copies a month ago. Does adding real combat change what Subnautica is supposed to be?"
