Grounded 2 on Xbox Game Pass: What’s the Deal?
Okay, so here’s the scoop… Grounded 2 is coming to Xbox Game Pass. I know, I know — big news, talk of the town and all that. But, typical twist: if you’ve only got the Xbox Game Pass Standard for consoles, you’re out of luck. Cue dramatic sigh.
Grounded 2 Hits Game Pass — Yet There’s a Catch
Let me set the stage. You’ve got this hot sequel landing in 2025. Under two weeks away, if I’m counting right. Grounded 2, from Xbox Game Studios and Obsidian Entertainment — remember them? Think teenagers, bug-sized, chaos in a shrunken-down world. This time, we’re getting Brookhollow Park, which apparently is like the first game’s backyard but… I dunno, a massive, sprawling version of it. And there are ants you can ride. Yes, seriously.
They say it’s bigger, bolder, all those buzzwords. End of the month, July 29, it’s hitting Early Access. And people are asking, "Can I dive in with Xbox Game Pass?"
Good news for some! Xbox Game Pass Ultimate folks, you’re covered. Jump in with Xbox Series X|S or PC Game Pass, ain’t that swell? But the console-specific Game Pass Standard… nope, not happening. Yet, some cunning folks found you can snag Ultimate time cheap on CDKeys. Kind of a loophole, I guess?
Different Ways to Get Your Grounded 2 Fix
Wondering how else to play Grounded 2? Stay with me. You could just buy it straight up for $29.99 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC app, or even on Steam. And hey, there’s this fancy Founder’s Edition for $39.99, with skins, emotes, and all those extras that nobody admits they want, but we all do.
Oh, little side note: it’s priced like this during the Early Access phase. Smart money says it’ll jump up later, just like the first game. Early bird catches the worm, right?
So, there it is. Grounded 2 could either be your next big adventure or just another game on the shelf. Depends what you’re into, I guess. Now — wait, why was I rambling about this again? Anyway, that’s the scoop!
