Subnautica 2 is out in an early access state on both PC and Xbox. Likely, the reason why the game is only available on these two platforms is that they have an early access program.

Steam has its own early access program, which hundreds of games have utilized in the past. Xbox's version of this is called Game Preview. Sony has, in the past, released games in an unfinished state (like Palworld), but they don't have a dedicated early access program.

However, that doesn't mean it will never come out on PS5. The original Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero are available on both PS5 and PS4. Perhaps once the full game is officially released, it will come out on PlayStation.
