Shrunk Again? Grounded 2 Hints at Possible PS5 Invasion (Eventually)
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Obsidian's *Grounded 2* is launching on PC and Xbox, but hints suggest a PS5 release is likely eventually, following the path of its predecessor; so maybe don't throw your tiny, virtual toys out of the pram just yet if you're a PlayStation player.
Right, so Obsidian Entertainment is at it again. They're cooking up *Grounded 2*, the sequel to their surprisingly charming shrunken-kids-versus-bugs survival game. It's launching into early access on PC and Xbox Series X/S on July 29th, according to Game Rant, and everyone's buzzing about bigger worlds, rideable critters (mounts, they're called, but let's be real, they're rideable critters), and base-building that's apparently gone next-level. Sounds like a proper good time, if you're into dodging spider fangs and fashioning armor out of leaves.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. Remember the first *Grounded*? Xbox exclusive, yeah? Well, a year and a half later, boom, it landed on PlayStation and Switch. History might just be repeating itself, mate.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Obsidian's Executive Producer Marcus Morgan played the classic 'I can't confirm or deny' game when asked about a potential PlayStation release for *Grounded 2*. His exact words? “Can’t talk about that right now. But I will say that Grounded 1 is on all of those platforms, so…” Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean? Sounds like a 'yes, but we can't announce it yet' situation, doesn't it? Fair dinkum, it almost *has* to happen. Why leave money on the table?
Morgan also mentioned that while *Grounded 1* will remain playable (good on them for preservation!), the focus is now firmly on *Grounded 2*. All new content and story expansions are heading that way. They're already brainstorming ideas for the future, hinting at a possible *Grounded 3* down the line. A trilogy of tiny terror? Bloody hell, that's ambitious. But I'm cautiously optimistic. If they keep the charm and co-op fun, it could work.
The big question is how long *Grounded 2* will stay in early access. The first game lingered in Game Preview for nearly two years, which allowed Obsidian to gather feedback and fine-tune the experience. Morgan reckons they'll keep *Grounded 2* in early access for “the appropriate amount of time to make it right.” Sounds vague, I know, but it suggests they're committed to polishing the game before the full release. Which is a good sign, right?
So, there you have it. *Grounded 2* is coming, it looks promising, and there's a very good chance it'll eventually find its way onto your PS5 or Switch. Just don't hold your breath. These things take time, you know? In the meantime, sharpen your leaf swords and prepare for another adventure in the miniature world. Just try not to get eaten by a spider. It's happened to the best of us.
