Grounded 2 FAQ
What is the Grounded 2 release date?
Grounded 2 will launch in Early Access on July 29, 2025 via Steam, Windows, and Xbox.
What is the Grounded 2 price?
The Early Access version of Grounded 2 will cost $29.99 USD.
The $29.99 price surprised many players, as the first game launched at $39.99, and everyone expected a higher price for a sequel coming three years later. The fact that it supports cross-platform play made that expectation even stronger. Many players even said they wouldn’t have been surprised if the game had been priced at $60 or even $80.
What platforms is Grounded 2 on?
Grounded 2 is launching on Steam, Windows (PC) and Xbox Series X|S on day one. Versions for PS5 or Nintendo aren’t confirmed for launch, but may arrive later.
Will Grounded 2 support crossplay?
Yes! Grounded 2 supports full crossplay between PC and Xbox. To play, link a free Xbox-Microsoft account in-game via Settings → Enable Crossplay, then invite or join friends across both platforms.
How many players can play multiplayer in Grounded 2?
Grounded 2 features up to 4-player co-op, sticking with the same squad size as the original. Back-and-forth host switches keep progress synced, with one player acting as the host at any time.
Grounded 2 will have dedicated server or not?
Grounded 2 will not feature dedicated servers—it continues the “shared world” system introduced in the original game. This means that instead of a standalone server running 24/7, the active player’s game instance acts as the host, and progress persists across play sessions.
Will there be mounts in Grounded 2?
Yes! Fire Ants and Red Ants serve as utility mounts that help haul supplies, dig, and even bring backup soldiers, while Orb Weaver Spiders are fast, powerful combat mounts with stunning abilities. Don’t worry arachnophobes—there’s an arachnophobia mode that tones down the creepy spiders.
What’s new in Grounded 2?
Grounded 2 introduces the Omni-Tool—a single versatile tool replacing axe, hammer, shovel, and wrench to simplify your gear. The story kicks off with mystery and clues from day one, inviting you to dig and theorize. Combat is more tactical with smarter enemies and dodging, plus new bugs like cockroaches and fresh biomes including ice cream carts and snack shacks. As always, community feedback shapes the game through an open roadmap starting at launch. Source
