I don't think my computer could handle Subnautica and I want the game. So I am thinking about getting Xbox one version... Is it worth it, too far behind on updates or slow updating? I don't know, just need advice XD
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.40 GHz and System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
I can't run most next gen games. XD
doesn't give the complete info though
Dxdiag would be very helpful for some of us since that will show the complete make up of your PC, your lacking ram and your graphics card in that list you posted.

@SunButter let me try it on my old i7 2670QM with a GT 540M GPU, and let you know how well it runs.
I think it's safe to say that i7-4500U is about half as powerful as the 2500K at stock speed from what I gathered on the magical interwebs...
That feels underpowered TBH
I've got an i5-4460 CPU at 3.20GHz and it runs the game, but I did just get a newer Nvidia Video card which improved my play experience immensely.
We're talking about the XXXX-U variant though, that one less powerful (~50%), compared to your CPU as well which is a neglectable bit slower than the 2500K (very similar actually)
Minimum sysreq lists something just above the 4500U, I'm not sure how the eco-power CPU's translate to performance CPU's. And... They also do not list Sandy or Ivy on there, while these CPU's are still relevant in this day and age
I finally had to stop lurking, create an account and leave food for thought..
Other than not knowing how much system memory is in his rig and what the OP's GPU is his CPU could run the game.
I am playing with an i3-530, 6GB DDR3 and an GTX 580 1.5GB.
In SN I have water quality at medium and the quality setting at recommend, full screen 1080
I have been clearing the game cache after every play session to limit stuttering
Does the game look it's absolute best - No, does the game look OK and for the most part is playable - Yes, are the FPS 9000+ - Don't know and don't care as it is going to be whatever it is due to the system specs.
As long as it can chug along and I don't die (besides from my own bad decisions - don't piss the warpers off with the prawn suite messing around with the grappler and drill arm) due to freeze ups and stutters all is good
l also currently play BF1 on this system and ARK as well

@SunButter it appears Subnautica works alright on it and it only complained about my graphics card. Running 20-32 FPS; 24 average even with it saying the GPU wasn't up to spec so I imagine with a properly specced GPU it would be just fine. (This was using minimal settings.)
Honestly with all the processor cores and drives and craps and computers it makes a little hard for me to know what the hex going on and putting it on Xbox is a lot simpler for me so if I were you I'd get for Xbox but that's just me and I already have it on Xbox

The xbox has all of that too. You just can't do diddly about it besides getting an entirely new (mediocre) system every few years. Which works if you don't want to be bothered with it, but you won't ever have the freedom you would with PC (think iPhone vs Android, iPhone is easy to use but by gosh darn golly, Apple doesn't want you to have an app drawer, you have to have all of your apps on your home screen. Which sucks if you have hundreds of apps. While with Android, if you don't like how the layout is, you can install an entirely different home screen manager {launcher} like Nova, Buzz, Yahoo, or the extremely speedy and minimalist Zeam).
I know this forum is old, i didnt read anything on this page. I figured id post this anyways, my asus laptop is at least 4 years old. I bought this game just after it was green lit on Steams early access. Ive never had any trouble what so ever playing this game. Recently they have optimized the game, and it runs better than ever on my crappy old laptop. Ive played it on Xbox, and imo id take pc over the console version any day. So if u have a pc, any pc, id say buy it.. Even if you dont like it, steam has a decent grace period for returns & its super easy to return it. They really dont ask questions. But dont use it as a rental service, the refund grace period isnt nearly long enough. Also they have a limit as to how many games you can return in a given time.. its in the double digits. To sum up, crappy pc or good pc (even a mac if thats your thing) its playable..

Otherwise, if your computer can't handle it, the Xbox should be quite alright.
