Subnautica: Below Zero

The expansion for Subnautica takes us to explore and survive in the frigid arctic waters of the northern ocean. In Subnautica: Below Zero, there are almost as many secrets to find and resolve as there are in the base game. But sometimes the grind can be a bit too much, or a challenge can be a bit daunting. That's where some console commands and cheats can help you out. That's why we have this useful list of console commands for Subnautica: Below Zero in case you need a little help along your journey. How to access the command console in Subnautica It's not too difficult to gain access to the command console in Subnautica: Below Zero. However, it's good practice to save your game first before attempting any game-altering changes (just in case). To open the command console on the PC version of Subnautica: Below Zero, all you have to do is press the Enter key. Note that before that works, you have to make sure that you have the Disable Console button unchecked in the Options menu. To access the command console on Xbox, you have to press both the Left and Right buttons (LB and RB) at the same time as the A button.
