June 28, 2022 15:10 Obsidian has now confirmed an official release date in September. This article has been updated to reflect that.

Grounded, the smaller-than-life survival game from Obsidian, is currently available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in early access and players will be pleased to know they can join over 10 million players with the full Grounded 1.0 release date on September 2022. If you’re a fan of… dirt and bugs? Well, then you’re going to want to check this game out.

The Grounded 1.0 release date is set for September 27, 2022, in a new update from Obsidian. In the 1.0 release you are going to see new weapons and armour added to the game’s selection of equipment, high-octane beetle-based warfare, and even more hugely terrifying boss fights with giant insects. If this sounds like your cup of tea, then you might want to clear out some space on your hard drive; this game is going to be available on Xbox Game Pass, too!

Grounded has seen many updates since its initial early access launch in 2020. These updates added new features like additional eight-legged bosses, new gameplay mechanics such as swimming, and being able to sit with your friends. On top of that, little critter pets were added, in addition to many other extras. You can see all the updates so far on the Obsidian Grounded blog.

The bugs are striking back with Grounded 1.0, though, and players are going to need to band together to take them down. Thankfully, that shouldn’t be too much of a problem if you keep your wits about you.
