Type "VIVE" in the Search Discussions box on the Main page and read the thread "Will there be VIVE support" for a response from the Devs.

The devs reported they have a Vive dev kit, but they are not committing to Vive support. Right now their main focus is just finishing the game.

We're not sure on Vive support yet. We're working on Oculus support currently.

Wow... that sucks... Im getting a Vive and was looking forward to this game and Star Citizen the most!

[Maltheus]

If they decide the numbers aren't there for multiple HMD support, I can accept that. But Occulus exclusives are one of the main reasons I don't want to support them (that and the Vive is simply a more complete product), so I really hope the devs don't go down that shady route. It they get it working for the Rift, then it should be easy enough to make this work for both.

I'll stick with the Vive, since they're aligned with Steam, which is where I buy most of my games. I wouldn't have even heard of Subnautica, if it weren't for Steam matching me up to it. Seems kind of strange to me they'd only be supporting the Facebook competitor, when Unity already supports both.

Yes, the Vive is primarily owned by Steam users, like you. Yes, the Sub-nautica devs would like to sell this game to Steam uers, like you. And yes, the game Sub-Nautica COULD be programmed to support SteamVR, the open VR platform supported by Steam, and that would support both the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive at the same time. ....but...

...NO, the Sub-nautica devs can't be bothered to write to SteamVR. Instead, they'd like to spend all their time writing to the Oculus exclusive SDK. Even though they can't be bothered to write to SteamVR, they sincerely hope that you'll just suck it up and buy their SteamVR gimped game anyway.

well a lot of devs honestly don't have vive pres dude, I'm not defending occulus here but Valve has not been giving all of the VR games on steam atm vives, just go ask the devs, like even big titles aren't getting them right away. The dev of VorpX which is a program that literally adds like 100 AAA titles to VR HMDs didn't even get one and just had to pre-order like all of us I mean what the ♥♥♥♥ Valve... So ya don't go blaming devs for taking occulus paychecks. That is not what is happening most of the time, these guys will hopefully add Vive support eventually they never said they won't lol and when they do I will buy this game since I'm getting a vive.

Meh after getting it to run on the Rift what they have learned should speed up their ablity to get it to work with the Vive. Given what resources they have available either way one or the other was gonna have to wait in line.

At least they feel that the VR market as a whole is worth some amount of effort. Remember almost no-one owns one of these things yet. Also devs plz switch to VIVE development as soon as possible. : ) It really does seem to be the better platform at this stage in the game.

Meh pity was going to buy for Vive :(
