Grounded 2 PC system requirements show the Xbox Game Pass title is 5 times bigger than the original — but you can run it on decade-old specs

A caterpillar bug in Grounded 2.

Microsoft's gaming division and publishing label Xbox has released several new high-profile, first-party games this year already, with more heading to Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PC later in 2025. Amongst those titles is Grounded 2 — the highly anticipated sequel to Obsidian Entertainment's popular 2020 survival game hit, and the second of three games from the studio this year (February's Avowed was the first; October's The Outer Worlds 2 will be the third).

First announced during June's big Xbox Games Showcase, Grounded 2 is slated to be one of the biggest Xbox launches and Xbox Game Pass titles of the year — though it'll undoubtedly make you feel pretty small, given that it's about surviving a park environment after being scaled down to the size of an ant.
