Limited-time PlayStation Plus offer runs through early March
Summary
– Subnautica Below Zero is free for PS Plus subscribers on PS5 and PS4
– All PlayStation Plus tiers qualify for the limited-time offer
– The game must be claimed by March 3 to keep access
PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS5 now have a limited-time chance to download an open-world survival game at no extra cost.
Subnautica Below Zero is currently free for anyone with an active PlayStation Plus subscription, including Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers. The offer is available for both PS5 and PS4 users and runs until March 3, after which the game will return to its standard $30 price.
Once claimed before the deadline, the game remains accessible as long as the subscription remains active. This makes it a permanent addition to a user’s library rather than a timed trial.
Released in 2021 by Unknown Worlds Entertainment, Subnautica: Below Zero is a standalone follow-up to the original Subnautica. The project began as downloadable content before expanding into a full release, continuing the underwater survival-and-exploration formula with a stronger narrative focus.
The game earned a solid critical reception, landing in the mid-to-high 70s on Metacritic across platforms. Player response has been stronger, with high user scores on both the PlayStation Store and Steam reflecting its popularity among fans of survival and exploration games.
With Subnautica 2 expected to enter early access later this year, the current PlayStation Plus promotion offers an easy entry point into the series. February also includes multiple other free PlayStation Plus titles, giving subscribers several options beyond this release.
