Subnautica: Below Zero Xbox Series X|S Cheats
How to use these cheats
Button names refer to the Xbox controller — A, B, X, Y, the LB/RB bumpers, LT/RT triggers and the D-pad. Unless told otherwise, enter codes from the pause or options menu, or while playing. Some cheats disable achievements for that save — keep a separate save before you start.

Subnautica: Below Zero keeps its developer console on Xbox, so it genuinely has cheat commands. Save first, because using the console disables achievements and a badly judged warp can corrupt a save.
Open the console: pause the game and press LB, RB and A together to bring up the hidden developer menu, then select the command line button and type commands with the on-screen keyboard.
Achievements: anything done after enabling the console will not count towards achievements on that save, so keep a clean manual save to return to.

Tip: command names are not case sensitive, but spawn names need to match the internal ID, so start with simple ones like titanium, quartz or hoopfish before experimenting.
