Is Grounded 2 on Xbox Game Pass?
Alright, so Grounded 2. Let me just spill the beans: it’s hitting Xbox Game Pass! But there’s a twist. If you’re on the Xbox Series X|S or playing on PC with either PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’re golden. But console-only Xbox Game Pass Standard? Nope, not happening.
Grounded 2 on Game Pass — But Wait, There’s More
This whole Grounded 2 business, it’s kinda huge. Slated for 2025, and it’s creeping up in less than two weeks. I mean, who knew there’d be a sequel to that 2020 hit where teens shrink down and play survival in an ant’s playground? Apparently, Obsidian’s tossing us into a new map, Brookhollow Park — pretty sure it’ll make the original Backyard look like a postage stamp. RPG-style buildcraft and buggy mounts? Yeah, I’m in.
And speaking of more stuff, a detailed overview is floating around somewhere — but who needs details when you’ve got the gist? Bigger, bolder, yet still tiny. With Early Access kicking off on July 29, anyone on Xbox Series X|S or Windows is probably chewing their nails wondering about Game Pass.
Good news: Xbox Game Studios isn’t holding back — Grounded 2’s on Game Pass from day one. But — and here’s a not-so-little catch — you’ll need to fork over for the Game Pass Ultimate if you’re hoping to hop on via console. Found a sweet deal for Ultimate at $10.89 on CDKeys, though. Just putting that out there.
How Else Can You Play Grounded 2?
So, not everyone’s sold on this Game Pass thing, even if it’s called “the best deal in gaming” — some folks stick to one game forever or hate subscriptions. If that’s you, yeah, no worries, ‘cause you can still grab Grounded 2 old-school. Buy it right on the Xbox Series X|S, the Xbox PC app, or the all-mighty Steam.
Pricing? You’re looking at $29.99 for the basic, but a snazzier $39.99 Founder’s Edition comes with nifty skins and some fancy digital extras. If you change your mind later, a $9.99 upgrade pack is hanging around too.
And pro-tip: snag the game during its Early Access if you want a decent price. It’s gonna leap up post-launch, just like its older sibling did. Anyway, dive in early, save some bucks, and start battling scorpion bugs or whatever madness they’ve cooked up this time.
