What is Grounded 2?
Grounded 2 is a survival action-adventure game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and Eidos-Montréal, and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the sequel to Grounded and launches in early access on July 29, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S and Windows via Xbox Game Preview and Steam Early Access.
Set in Brookhollow Park, a fictional suburban park inspired by the early 1990s, players control miniaturized children surviving in an oversized world. The game features resource gathering, crafting, base building, and combat, with both single-player and multiplayer modes.
New gameplay additions include tameable insect mounts called Buggies, expanded building tools, and new character archetypes. The story introduces a mysterious, unseen threat that becomes more prominent as players explore the park.
Early access offers a portion of the full game, enabling feedback-driven development. It will be included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

In its current state in early access, Grounded 2 appears to be an across-the-board improvement over the original, adding new combat features, simpler core gameplay, mounts and more to an already promising setting.
