The coop mod lets you play Subnautica with your friends and lets you experience the depths of the alien underwater world like never before. You will go through the perils and wonders of diving deep into the depths with your friends and survive together. And if that sounds interesting, here is everything about the mod and how to install it to have the ultimate multiplayer experience.
