Is Grounded 2 on Xbox Game Pass? Heck yeah—but there’s a twist. Gotta love those, right? If you’re on Xbox Series X|S or PC, it’s all good with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass. But if you’re clutching that console-specific Game Pass Standard? Nope, nada. Sorry ’bout that.
So, Grounded 2 is dropping soon. Two weeks to be exact. And what a ride! The original had you as teens turned ant-sized. This time, it’s bigger—or maybe smaller? Nah, just kidding. Same sizes, but more stuff to do. New map called Brookhollow Park, and some cool rides like ants and spiders. If that doesn’t scream adventure, what does?
And okay, for the quick take—bigger game, not bigger players. Launching Early Access on July 29. Loads of peeps on Xbox Series X|S and PC are all buzzed about trying it on Game Pass. Yep, they’re eager. Grounded 2 is sliding into Game Pass right from the get-go thanks to Microsoft’s nifty deal with first-party games.
You can play on Xbox and PC with that $19.99/month Ultimate deal, or just PC with the $11.99/month PC Game Pass. Ultimate also means you can float around with Xbox Cloud Gaming. How cool is that? But if you’re stuck with the $14.99 console-specific tier… sorry, gotta upgrade to Ultimate! There’s a silver lining though: CDKeys is offering it for $10.89 right now. Deals, people!
Anyway, if Game Pass ain’t your jam—there are other ways. On Xbox Series X|S and Steam, Grounded 2 is yours for $29.99. There’s a $39.99 Founder’s Edition too, with extra skins, emotes, and whatnot. Oh, and a nifty pack upgrade if you want those goodies later on.
Prices are good for the preview/early access period, as they say. Expect them to crank them up once it’s out officially, much like the jump Grounded did from $29.99 to $39.99. So, snag it early if you love a good bargain.
That’s the lowdown. Happy gaming, you tiny adventurers!
