The launch of Grounded 2 couldn’t be more promising. Aaron Greenberg, Xbox marketing head, has confirmed on social media that the game already has over 3 million players since its release in late July. This figure reflects the huge interest sparked by the sequel to Obsidian’s successful title.

The second installment maintains the miniature survival formula that won over players in 2020, but expands the content with a larger world, new creatures, building improvements, and a deeper focus on exploration. Additionally, its inclusion in Xbox Game Pass from day one has been key to getting so many users to join the adventure quickly.

A success that reinforces the value of Xbox Game Pass and Obsidian

The studio, part of Xbox Game Studios, has managed to surpass even the expectations set by the first game with Grounded 2, which was already a phenomenon at launch. With constant updates and a very active community, everything points to the player count continuing to grow in the coming months.

The world is unforgiving, but so are you. Shape your adventure with unique archetypes, each with different abilities that adapt to your playstyle. Whether you opt for precision, ingenuity, or brute force, you’ll need every advantage you can get to survive the park’s dangers.

Obsidian hasn’t revealed yet what the next big updates will be, but it’s expected that future updates will continue to expand the content and keep the experience alive. At Generación Xbox, we’ll be keeping a close eye on the evolution of Grounded 2 and its new additions.
