Someone asked this question on a stream I was watching and was told it's not grammatically correct.
How far did Dan come in his early access play of Subnautica?
If it's incorrect, what would be the right way to ask that?
"early access" is like a Beta version
"Subnautica" is a video game
"Dan" is the streamer
How far did Dan come in his early access play of Subnautica?
There are two issues with this sentence. First and simplest, the idiomatic term for progress would be get.
The second issue is the context of the word play. When talking about games, play is the activity of playing rather than the game that is being played. The compound adjective early access could be applied to a game or to a version of a game, but it cannot be applied to an activity.
A better way to write this sentence would therefore be
How far did Dan get in his early access version of Subnautica?
Your sentence is fine except for the use of "come". The idiomatic question when asking degree of success in reaching some goal is:
How far did you get?
So in this case:
How far did Dan get in his early access play of Subnautica?
I have to disagree with Sean's answer. "Go" is not natural for this context.
