Obsidian Entertainment unveils Grounded 2 at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, slated for release later this year.
Cranking it up in the Backyard: Grounded 2 is Here!
Ready to delve back into the miniature world of insects and survival? Obsidian Entertainment, the mastermind behind Xbox Games Studios hits like The Outer Worlds 2, is back with a vengeance! This time, it's Grounded 2, the smash-hit survival game's sequel, that's about to take center stage.
But that's not all! To whet our gaming appetites, Obsidian Entertainment has decided to drop not one, but two bombshell announcements at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025. In addition to the much-anticipated The Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian Entertainment revealed the upcoming Grounded 2.
Here's the skinny: Grounded 2 will appear on shelves, or rather, on screens, this very year on July 29, 2025! Get ready to conquer the great outdoors on your Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, Steam, and Xbox PC Game Pass. Yes, you heard it right - just like all Xbox first-party games, Grounded 2 will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass!
Just like its predecessor, Grounded 2 will enter the gaming scene through the Xbox Game Preview program, allowing players to provide feedback and help shape the game's progress. The same applies to Steam, with Grounded 2 launching simultaneously in early access. For those rolling with Game Pass, it's all free and easy! But if you're not a subscriber, be prepared to fork over $29.99.
Teaming up this time is Obsidian Entertainment and Eidos Montreal. Together, they aim to expand Grounded 2 into a colossal experience compared to the original game. Now, let's talk! Ant-sized, to be precise. In Grounded 2, you and your diminutive pals will navigate through a sprawling, bug-infested city park, which should offer plenty of opportunities to outwit, outplay, and out-bug your foes.
Grounded 2 takes the franchise to a new level by introducing "buggies" - rideable critters that give you the speed and power to conquer obstacles and lay waste to enemies. These fearsome steeds won't just help you get from A to B; they'll carry the heavy lifting, too, supporting you in construction projects.
Stay tuned for more insights on Grounded 2 and The Outer Worlds 2, as Obsidian Entertainment continues to redefine the gaming landscape. So, gear up, my friends! The adventure of a lifetime awaits in Grounded 2, coming soon to a screen near you!
