Sure, let’s dive into this. So, Grounded 2 on Xbox Game Pass, huh? Yeah, it’s happening, but with a snag—a real head-scratcher, actually.
Alright, so picture this: you’re all set to dive into Grounded 2, because who wouldn’t want to play as teens shrunk to ant-size, right? But here’s the kicker: it’s on Xbox Series X|S and PC, but if you’re just rocking the ol’ console-specific Xbox Game Pass Standard tier, well, you’re outta luck. Bummer, I know.
And, I gotta say, when I heard about this Xbox Games Showcase in 2025—feels like future talk—Grounded 2 sort of dropped outta nowhere. It’s like Obsidian and Xbox were like, “Hey, remember that tiny-teenager-in-the-backyard game? Let’s do it again, but bigger!” Or was it just me who felt that? Who knows. Anyway, they’re dropping a whole freakin’ Brookhollow Park and more bugs to ride. I mean, who thought riding spiders would be a thing? But here we are!
And the Game Pass… For all you subscription fans, it’s like this golden ticket, giving you games on a silver platter for a monthly fee. So Grounded 2’s part of that buffet—you just gotta snag the right pass. I guess you could say Xbox is like, totally committed to first-party game access. Cheers to that, right?
Now, let’s talk money—it’s kinda funny. So, you get to romp around as a mini-human for $19.99/month with the Ultimate Pass, which, if you ask me, sounds like a fancy name for “everything bundled” deal. Cloud gaming, cross-platform, yada yada. But the console-only peeps? Yeah, they have to pony up for the Ultimate. But hey, CDKeys might have a cheeky discount. Who doesn’t love a good bargain?
Switching gears—oops, bear with me. Whoops, backtrack! If Game Pass ain’t your jam (no judgment), you can still grab Grounded 2 like the old-school way. Think CDs but digital, and less nostalgia. Anyway, it’s $29.99 to own—buy once, play forever. Or go big with the Founder’s Edition and its glittery extras for $39.99. A fair play for the collectors at heart, right?
Oh, and before I forget—prices could jump after the whole Early Access shindig. So if you’re itching to own it at a lower cost, don’t wait too long.
And that’s, well, basically the scoop. Let’s see where shrinking into tiny teens in a bug-filled yard takes us! Fingers crossed, it’s somewhere epic.
