Unknown Worlds Entertainment reportedly suffered a major leak for Subnautica 2. This security breach follows similar high-profile leaks for Forza Horizon 6 and LEGO Batman earlier this week.

According to reports, a playable build surfaced online 48 hours ahead of its May 14 launch. Screenshots and gameplay clips from the leaked build are spreading across social media. Reports claim the leak also includes graphics settings menus and access to the game’s opening survival sections.

The leaks reportedly surfaced roughly 48 hours before Subnautica 2's May 14 launch on PC and Xbox Series X/S. Piracy forums and subreddits claimed that a cracked version of the game had already appeared on piracy sites.

The source of the leak is still unknown. Unlike Forza Horizon 6, there is currently no indication that the leak happened because of a preload encryption error.

However, speculation within the gaming community points toward review copies or early-access distribution channels. Some users claimed that the leaked build may have originated from someone with reviewer access.

Developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment has yet to comment on the situation. The studio had only recently enabled preorders and preload support for Subnautica 2 ahead of launch.

Recent Gaming Leaks Have Put Publishers Under Pressure

Earlier, Forza Horizon 6 allegedly leaked online after reports claimed unencrypted preload files were uploaded to Steam. The full playable build and gameplay clips quickly spread across piracy communities.

As a result, Playground Games issued warnings about franchise-wide and hardware bans for players accessing unofficial copies.

Apart from that, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight also faced a bizarre early-access situation. According to reports, Xbox players gained unintended access through Walmart digital preorders.

Some players managed to play the game days before launch. Later, WB Games pushed updates that disabled the unauthorized access.

These three incidents in a row have now raised serious concerns about security, reviewer access management, and DRM protection.
