Just asObsidian Entertainment promised last week, thePublic Test ring for Grounded’s next major update is now openfor dedicatedGroundedplayers to enjoy. The 0.6.0 release, or January Content Update, is Grounded’s first release after the holidays, and adds the much-anticipated flying insects to Obsidian Entertainment’s quirky survival gem.

It’s unclear how long the Grounded team will test the January Content update before releasing it toGrounded’s early access, but I expect the Public Test ring to be open for about a week first. Most Grounded players will want to simply wait for the general release, but those hardcore Grounded players who want to be at the forefront of development can sign-up to participate now.

Grounded is shaping up to be a fantastic survival game, with incredible audio and visual design. On the former, be sure you’re prepared with one of theBest Headsets for Xbox Series X|S.
