Subnautica 2 Reveals New Themed Merch
Xbox Design Lab Controller Designs Are Now Available
Subnautica 2 has revealed new Xbox Design Lab controllers alongside a new Youtooz plush collection featuring several creatures from the iconic underwater survival series.
The new controller lineup includes themed versions of the standard Xbox Wireless Controller and the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. The configurations shared by the official Subnautica account are priced at $95.97 for the standard model and $189.48 for the Elite model, though pricing may vary depending on customization options selected through Xbox Design Lab.
The showcased designs feature color palettes inspired by Subnautica 2’s underwater setting. The standard controller uses a Lunar Shift body with Dragonfly Blue buttons, Zest Orange back panels and bumpers, Glacier Blue triggers, gray-on-white ABXY buttons, and rubberized black grips.
Meanwhile, the Elite controller features a Glacier Blue body, Metallic Zest Orange bumpers and triggers, a Bright Silver faceted D-pad, Bright Silver thumbsticks with Robot White tops, Desert Tan thumbstick rings, and black ABXY buttons.
The controllers are preset Xbox Design Lab configurations shared through Subnautica’s post on X (formerly Twitter). Players can further customize multiple controller elements through the Design Lab, including the front and back shells, side grips, thumbsticks, triggers, D-pads, face buttons, metallic accent finishes, and optional personalized engravings.
Youtooz Plushies Open for Pre-Orders
Youtooz also launched a new set of Subnautica plushies on May 15 for $29.99 each. The plushies ship worldwide and are currently available for pre-order, with an estimated departure date between September 1 and September 30.

According to the product descriptions, the plushies measure nine inches and are made from soft minky material filled with 100% PP cotton. The new lineup follows last year’s Subnautica plush releases, which included the Reaper Leviathan Plush, Peeper Plush, and Bladderfish Plush.
Creators Received Puzzle Box PR Packages
Unknown Worlds Entertainment also sent select creators and streamers a special Puzzle Box for Subnautica 2’s Early Access launch. The package required creators to solve a series of puzzles and codes before unlocking the briefcase included inside the box.
Videos shared online showed the briefcase containing a Subnautica-themed Keychron V4 Max keyboard featuring gray, blue, orange, and white keycaps, with "Subnautica 2" printed on the spacebar, alongside a white Logitech mouse with Alterra logo. The Puzzle Box appears to have been distributed as part of a creator promotional campaign and is not currently being sold publicly.
