Subnautica: Below Zero serves as a spinoff to Subnautica, the underwater adventure title from 2018. In Below Zero, you explore the frozen waters of ocean planet 4546B as a xenologist. The open world game lets you explore alien environments, while surviving underwater threats, collecting resources, and completing objectives to advance through the story.
Below Zero features survival mechanics like base building and crafting. You must manage your oxygen level, hunger, body heat, and thirst as you explore underwater. In addition to underwater regions, the game also features hostile land-based regions. Subnautica: Below Zero will be available to PS Plus members on PS4 and PS5.
Ultros is a Metroidvania title with a psychedelic, vibrant art style. You wake up as a space traveller stranded in the Sarcophagus, a giant spaceship that imprisons the cosmic demon named Ultros. The game repeats in a loop set to a black hole, and you explore the Sarcophagus over repeated runs, meet its inhabitants, and unravel the mystery behind Ultros.
The game features intense melee combat and tough boss fights. Each run resets the progress and even brings changes to the game world. Ultros will be available on PS4 and PS5.
