by

Prepare yourself to be shrunk once more as the eagerly awaited launch of Grounded 2 draws near. Join our familiar teen characters, Max, Willow, Hoops, and Pete, in their new adventure set within Brookhollow Park. The developers at Obsidian Entertainment have also unveiled two versions of the game: the Standard Edition and the intriguingly titled Minotaurs, Myrmidons, and Mants: Oh My! Founder’s Edition. These will become available when the game debuts on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox PC, and Xbox Cloud, in addition to Steam Early Access, Game Pass Ultimate, and PC Game Pass.

If you’re excitedly counting down the days until the release of “Grounded 2“, you’d likely be keen to understand the perks each edition offers and when they’ll become available, given your eagerness to revisit the ant-sized world in style.

Grounded 2 Editions Explained

Oh My! Founder’s Edition/Founder’s Edition Pack. This special edition includes extra features; both editions are detailed below.

Standard Edition

During the Game Preview/Early Access phase, you can buy the standard version of “Grounded 2” for USD $29.99. Similar to the Founder’s Edition, the Standard Edition includes a playable copy of “Grounded 2” during the Game Preview stage. To sweeten the deal, players who opt for the Standard Edition will also receive “The Tools of Yore” decorative set, an extra bonus that is given to all players regardless of their chosen edition as a token of appreciation from Obsidian Entertainment.

Minotaurs, Myrmidons, and Mants: Oh My! Founder’s Edition

Instead of it, the special edition titled “The Minotaurs, Myrmidons, and Mants: Oh My! Founder’s Edition” for Grounded 2 will retail at USD $39.99. For those who opt for the Standard Edition or already have it, there’s an option to upgrade to the Founder’s Pack at a cost of USD $10.00. This offer will be beneficial if you decide to play Grounded 2 via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate/PC Game Pass, or if you later decide to upgrade from the Standard Edition. The Founder’s Edition/Founder’s Pack upgrade comes with additional features.

  • Grounded 2 digital game download.
  • Four premium skins with their own custom emotes – the mighty Minotaur, the stoic Myrmidon, the elusive Rogue, and the fearsome Mant.
  • The “ONYX-PRO, Inside the Game” digital artbook and soundtrack, taking players behind-the-scenes into the game’s development and to be updated throughout the game’s Game Preview/Early Access period.
  • The Tools of Yore decorative set.
  • More items with secrets.

It’s been made clear by Obsidian that the bonus cosmetic items included in the Founder’s Edition/Founder’s Pack won’t impact gameplay or progression. Essentially, the main distinctions between the Standard Edition and Founder’s Edition appear to be primarily aesthetic, along with extra digital art and soundtrack content. However, the mention of ‘More items will be added with secrets’ in the Founder’s Edition hints that it may offer additional unannounced features as well, although the specifics are still unknown.

The sequel to “Grounded”, titled “Grounded 2“, is simultaneously debuting in Game Preview and Early Access, boasting several accessibility enhancements such as an Arachnophobia Safe Mode, colorblind mode, customizable subtitles, among others. Plus, with Xbox Play Anywhere, gamers can enjoy “Grounded 2” seamlessly on both Xbox consoles and PC, taking advantage of cross-saves at no extra charge through a single transaction.
