Grounded is a smaller game than many of Obsidian's prior projects, quite literally, as it's being developed by a team of just 13. Players take on the role of kids in a backyard that have been shrunk down and must face terrifying bugs like spiders — though the spiders can be made less scary through Grounded's Arachnophobia Safe Mode.
Grounded is currently available on Xbox One and PC. Like all Xbox Game Studios titles, it's also in Xbox Game Pass. For a list of beginner's combat and crafting tips in Grounded, go here.
It's a big(ger) world out there.
Obsidian Entertainment makes its exclusive debut on Xbox One and PC with Grounded, a unique survival experience that literally makes all of your problems much, much bigger. Join your friends as you're shrunk down to the size of an ant and are forced to survive in a dangerous backyard.
