You don't have to play Subnautica first, but it definitely enhances the experience! Below Zero is a standalone game with its own storyline.
I'd recommend playing the original first for the full lore and background. Plus, more underwater fun!
You absolutely should play Subnautica first. It sets up the world perfectly and makes Below Zero so much more immersive.
Below Zero is a separate adventure. Jump in wherever you're comfortable!
