What you need to know
Groundedis already a fantastic game in its own right, but is still very much inEarly Access and Game Preview, and receives constant updates tofix bugs and add new content. Despite its early access nature, the small-yet-talented team at Obsidian Entertainment is still prepping afree next-gen upgradefor players, to take full advantage of the powerful new hardware inside theXbox Series XandXbox Series S.
Grounded will take advantage ofXbox’s Smart Delivery service, which ensures that you’re always playing the best version of your games for your console, with all your save information intact. This means players won’t have to lift a finger (or pay a dime) in order to get the best version of Grounded, which can be found on Xbox Series X and S. Both next-gen consoles will feature HDR support, massively increased loading speeds, improved graphical fidelity with better textures, and a buttery smooth 60fps to make every movement as seamless as possible.
Xbox Series X will of course push for a higher resolution, with support for 4K in addition to all those other awesome features, while the Xbox Series S will still offer a true next-gen experience, albeit at a lower resolution (likely 1440p, the target resolution for the console).
The Xbox Series X and Slaunch November 10, 2020, but it’s not clear if Grounded’s next-gen upgrade will drop on the same day. Either way, you can leap into Grounded’s dynamic (and terrifying) backyard at any point through Xbox Game Preview orXbox Game Pass, and enjoy next-gen features the moment the update drops at no additional cost. Big things really do come in small packages.
It’s a big(ger) world out there.
Obsidian Entertainment makes its exclusive debut on Xbox One and PC with Grounded, a unique survival experience that literally makes all of your problems much, much bigger. Join your friends as you’re shrunk down to the size of an ant and are forced to survive in a dangerous backyard.
