# Joining Your Subnautica Nitrox Server (/docs/subnautica/connect-to-your-server)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

This guide will help you connect to your Subnautica Nitrox multiplayer server. Since Subnautica does not have native multiplayer, you will need the Nitrox client mod installed on your PC.

> ⚠️ **Warning:** All players must have the Nitrox client installed and use the Nitrox launcher to connect. Do not launch Subnautica directly through Steam when playing multiplayer.

Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

Before connecting, make sure you have:

* Subnautica installed on Steam (not Subnautica: Below Zero)
* The [Nitrox client](https://nitrox.rux.gg/) downloaded and installed
* Your Subnautica game path correctly set in the Nitrox launcher
