Krafton Agrees to Pay Unknown Worlds $250 Million Bonus Following Strong Subnautica 2 Early Access Sales
Krafton has reportedly agreed to pay Unknown Worlds a $250 million earnout bonus tied to Subnautica 2's performance, following strong early sales since the game's early access launch. The payout is set to benefit the studio's cofounders, who had negotiated the milestone-based bonus as part of Krafton's acquisition of Unknown Worlds. Both Rock Paper Shotgun and Kotaku reported on the development, suggesting the game's early access momentum has been enough to trigger the contractual threshold.
