Overview

  • Grounded 2 will enter early access later this month, with Obsidian pledging to maintain Grounded 1 with necessary fixes but no further story content.
  • Marcus Morgan says Grounded 1’s peer-to-peer architecture ensures a dedicated-server experience without server shutdown risks, supporting the game’s longevity.
  • Obsidian expects Grounded 2 to spend about two years in early access, mirroring the first title’s development cycle.
  • Although details remain unconfirmed, Obsidian has hinted at a PlayStation 5 release for Grounded 2 beyond its initial Xbox and PC launch.
  • The original Grounded was added to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 in April 2024 under Microsoft’s cross-platform port initiative.
