Subnautica 2 sales spike forces Krafton to pay $250M earnout to Unknown Worlds
Krafton has been ordered to pay Unknown Worlds a $250 million earnout after Subnautica 2 surpassed 4 million copies sold since its May launch. The payout, calculated at about 3.12 dollars for every 1 dollar of revenue up to the cap, follows a legal ruling that reinstated Unknown Worlds’ leadership. Early figures show rapid sales (2 million in 12 hours; 4+ million by May 20) with Steam leading and 2.4 million Game Pass players in the first week, underscoring strong initial performance.
