Obsidian Entertainment’s cult hit Grounded shattered expectations with millions of players last year—and its sequel is already setting the stage for more backyard chaos. The studio just confirmed that Grounded 2 will enter Xbox Game Preview on July 29, 2025, giving players early access to its massive overhaul.

🕷️ What’s New in Grounded 2?

• Fully reworked visuals for a bio-luminescent backyard world

• Expanded base-building with multi-level bunkers and defensive turrets

• New insect bosses, including a mutated wasp colony with acid spit attacks

• Four-player co-op, alongside scalable difficulty and permadeath modes

• Epic survival sandbox meets tower defense—all with the charm of being insect-sized warriors

• 
  

🤔 Why It Matters

• Grounded hit 10M+ players last year, so the sequel has massive expectations

• The early-access drop means Obsidian can refine core systems before full release

• Perfect timing for Game Pass gamers who love fresh, experimental survival hits

  
  

🧠 Early Buzz

Developers promise Grounded 2 will be “bigger and bolder,” building on player feedback—especially around boss fights and base structure variety. It’s shaping up to be the most ambitious bio-microsurvival ever launched on Game Pass.

🎮 Final Take

If you loved the original’s bite-sized terror and creativity, Grounded 2’s early preview is going to feel like rolling into Willy Wonka’s insect kingdom—only deadlier. With advanced building options and venomous new bosses, it’s looking like summer just found its micro-sized megahit.
