Is surviving the crushing depths of Europa feeling too easy? Barotrauma’s latest update ensures your next mission will be anything but smooth sailing. PC Gamer reports that the patch brings new monsters, expanded mission types, and more ways for your crew to experience absolute chaos—whether from alien threats or your own teammates’ mistakes.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE UPDATE

Among the highlights are revamped submarine systems, fresh weapons, and AI crew members that can now assist—or accidentally doom—your entire mission. The developers also rebalanced several creatures, making exploration deeper into Europa's oceans more tense than ever. Whether you’re fighting off a Moloch or repairing a leaking reactor mid-mission, survival has never been this frantic.

With full modding support and a loyal community, Barotrauma continues to evolve, keeping its signature blend of teamwork, terror, and dark humor alive beneath the icy waves.
