Summary

  • The developers of Subnautica 2, Unknown Worlds, have warned gamers of fraudulent messages being sent via Steam inviting them to take part in an alleged playtest of the game.
  • The studio confirmed that these messages are not legitimate and warns users not to click on any links within these messages.
  • Unknown Worlds stated that any legitimate invites would be sent out via email from their own company domain, and never via Steam message.
  • The team asked that gamers who have clicked on any such links change their Steam password immediately, and to contact Valve’s support page if they suspect their account has been compromised.
  • This is the latest in a series of scams targeting gamers, with many Twitter users also targeting gamers with fake Back 4 Blood beta keys.
  • Subnautica 2, a survival adventure game, is set for release this year, with early access gameplay available for at least two years.
