Grounded 2 comes to Xbox Game Preview and Steam Early Access on July 29

Obsidian Entertainment stole the show at the Xbox Games Showcase with The Outer Worlds 2 and a new game reveal. Grounded 2 was announced, and it will be coming to Xbox Game Preview and Steam Early Access on July 29, 2025. It will be available to Game Pass members as well. 

Grounded 2 was built in partnership with Eidos-Montreal. The original Grounded has over 25 million players across all platforms, with it starting all on Xbox and PC. 

Here is an overview of Grounded 2 via Xbox Wire:

Grounded 2 steps out of the backyard and into the suburban wilderness—new bugs, new biomes, same tiny chaos. Set in the all-new Brookhollow Park and featuring the return of our teen heroes, this continuation brings major quality-of-life upgrades like the all-in-one Omni-Tool and delivers on one of the community’s most requested features: rideable Buggies. It’s not just a sequel—it’s the follow-up fans were hoping for, packed with sharper tools, weirder bugs, and enough callbacks to make you wonder if we’ve been lurking in your forum threads
