Krafton Delays ‘Subnautica 2' Game Ahead of $250 Million Payout

Bloomberg09-07-2025
South Korean video-game publisher Krafton Inc. is delaying the release of the highly anticipated survival game Subnautica 2, according to people familiar with the company's plans, just months before it was due to pay a $250 million bonus to the development team.
Subnautica 2, the second-most-wished-for upcoming game on the PC platform Steam, was originally set to offer early access to players later this year. The schedule changed last week after Krafton pushed out the leadership of its Unknown Worlds Entertainment studio, said the people, who asked to not be identified because they weren't authorized to talk to press. A representative for Krafton didn't respond to a request for comment.

The best Switch emulator just got even better, and there's more to come

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR Nintendo Switch emulator Eden just dropped v0.0.3 release candidate. It brings performance improvements, plus key new features to make setup easier. The growing team also teased a few upcoming features, including EmuReady integration. Nintendo Switch emulation hit some big setbacks last year with Nintendo effectively shutting down Yuzu and Ryujinx, but more recently things have really started to heat up. The Yuzu fork Eden is one of the most promising new Switch emulators on the scene, and an update dropped over the weekend with some huge improvements to what is likely the new best Switch emulator. Eden v0.0.3 has a wide variety of updates and new features, both to emulation performance and user experience. There are fixes for specific games like Echoes of Wisdom, Tears of the Kingdom, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses, as well as more general improvements to the emulation engine. On Android specifically, the multiplayer frontend has been overhauled, making it easier to play games online. There's a new carousel view for your game library, as well as an improved settings menu and performance overlay. The update improves performance and accessibility across the board. For lower-end devices, there's a new .25X resolution option that should improve emulation performance. Compatibility with older devices in general has been improved, although you'll still need a certain amount of power to run demanding Switch games. For even bigger gains to performance, there's now a built-in driver fetcher, which will recommend a driver for your device, then download and install the latest version from its repository. Having the right driver can make or break Switch emulation, so this streamlined approach should reduce the amount of tinkering required for good performance. While this update is one of the most significant since Eden launched in May, the team also promised even more exciting features in the near future. For example, it will integrate directly with the EmuReady app, which hosts community-built compatibility reports. Once complete, you'll be able to launch games directly in Eden with optimal settings for performance on your device. That should make Switch emulation more accessible than ever. Speaking of the team, there are several new contributors to the project, including Sudachi developer Jarrod Norwell. The team was also sent test devices from AYANEO, which makes some of the best retro gaming handhelds on the market. That's great news for future compatibility, especially for devices with Qualcomm's new gaming handheld-focused G series chipsets. There are far more changes in v0.0.3, so check out the full patch notes for more information and download links. It's worth noting that this is a release candidate, so it may have a few bugs that need to be squashed before it becomes a stable release. Follow

A Tesla Chip Deal Gives Samsung a Much Needed Boost

Here's an Elon Musk association that's seen as a good thing. Tesla may be in a sales slump, but its multiyear chip deal with Samsung Electronics is giving the South Korean company a boost. Samsung will produce artificial intelligence semiconductors for Tesla in a new $16.5 billion pact. The agreement will run through the end of 2033, giving Samsung a much needed win after having steadily lost ground to leading chipmaker TSMC. The plan is for an upcoming plant in Taylor, Texas, to produce Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip, Musk said on X, confirming a Bloomberg News report. Samsung's Seoul-traded shares rose 6.8% to their highest since September, while its suppliers like Soulbrain jumped as much as 16%. Musk, 54, will walk the production line himself and has been authorized by Samsung to assist in optimizing production, he said.
