Grounded 2

📝 About Game

Grounded 2 launches into early access on July 29, 2025, continuing its survival adventure in a brand-new scale and setting. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment with Eidos-Montréal, and published by Xbox Game Studios, the game retains its core of shrunken-sized survival but expands dramatically in ambition and scope. In Brookhollow Park, a sprawling, 1990s suburban wilderness, players must survive as tiny heroes navigating giant hazards. This open-world survival adventure emphasizes crafting, exploration, and base building. The park features diverse biomes—including icy zones and abandoned snack areas—packed with large-scale threats and hidden secrets. A standout new feature is the "Buggy" system—rideable insect companions like ants and spiders that assist in combat, traversal, and resource gathering. These mounts make exploration more dynamic and strategic. The sequel elevates combat with Combat 2.0, featuring new dodging mechanics, smarter enemy AI, and more responsive interactions. It also introduces the Omni-Tool, a streamlined multipurpose device combining shovel, axe, wrench, and hammer into one useful gadget. Grounded 2 supports both single-player and online co-op (up to four players), encouraging community play and shared survival. It launched with accessibility features such as Arachnophobia Safe Mode and crossplay via Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere. Since its early access debut, the game has already surpassed 3 million players within two weeks, indicative of strong engagement and excitement within the community. With its vastly expanded world, collaborative development model, and refined survival systems, Grounded 2 delivers an immersive miniature adventure that’s bigger—and bolder—than its predecessor.
