Today we’re going to cover the install process of the Subnautica multiplayer mod Nitrox. The developers of the mod just released a brand new update. Version 1.6.0.0 brings a bunch of bug fixes, improvements and a whole new launcher.

Let’s get started!
Important: make sure you already own Subnautica on one of the compatible stores (Epic Games or Steam). Microsoft Store is currently not supported, but the developers are working on it!
Here is the basic installation guide of Nitrox:
- Download Nitrox from the website: https://nitrox.rux.gg/download
- Create a new folder and unzip the archive to it.
- Open Steam or Epic Games and verify your game installation
- Run the NitroxLauncher.exe
- Go to Options and confirm your Subnautica installation path
Play Subnautica multiplayer
If you want to join your friend’s Subnautica multiplayer server, simply follow these steps
- On the Nitrox Launcher, select the blue play button
- Once ingame, choose the Multiplayer option
- Select add server and enter the IP address from your friend
- Finally, enter your player name and pick a colour
- Done!
Host a Subnautica multiplayer server
Hosting a server is also very easy, as the latest version features UPnP. Meaning you do not need to configure any router settings! If you have a firewall or router that doesn’t support UPnP you can alternatively port forward or use a service such as Hamachi.
- Select the server tab
- Decide for a docked or external console (Only visual difference)
- Press start server
- Give your IPv4 address to your friends!
