Dive. Pilot. Explore.
subROV: Underwater Discoveries is an underwater exploration game where you operate a full-ocean-depth ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle).
Embark on dives all over the world, map unknown regions, explore shipwrecks, study aquatic species, and sample hydrothermal vents with an array of scientific tools.
Take complete control of every dive as you navigate an oceanic Research Vessel to different dive sites. Deploy your ROV and use its tools and sensors to study the depths of the ocean and the creatures dwelling within it.
Go from trainee to fully-fledged pilot as you explore the mysteries of the ocean.
Choose from various dive sites as you complete objectives such as charting the seafloor or carrying out scientific studies.
Navigate an oceanic research vessel to the exact location of your dive.
Download scientific data and information on new points of interest from ocean buoys.
Deploy your full ocean-depth rated ROV and complete scientific goals using the AI-assisted scanner, articulated arm, sensors, lander, and sediment corers.
Explore trenches, survey wrecks, and study some of the ocean's most fascinating and unusual creatures.
Keep track of your discoveries in the Gallery.
Complete objectives to progress from trainee to Dive Master.
subROV: Underwater Discoveries is being developed in collaboration with the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences and the Schmidt Ocean Institute, with funding from the European Union and partial funding from a National Science Foundation BIO-OCE grant.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STEAM DECK OWNERS
subROV has been certified for the Steam Deck, so it is fully playable and complies with several requirements set by Steam for the device. The frame rate while exploring the seafloor often dips and stays in the 20s, though, and cloud saves have not been implemented yet.
If you are thinking of buying subROV for the Deck exclusively, and generally can't stand low fps, we advise that you wishlist it for the time being.Â
