Xbox Game Studios' Obsidian Entertainment has had quite a busy 2025 on its hands between February's Pillars of Eternity RPG Avowed and the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas-like The Outer Worlds 2. On top of that, there's Grounded 2 between them — a third game from the studio this year that just launched into Early Access/Game Preview at the end of July.
The follow-up to 2020's popular open-world survival game came as a surprise when it was unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase in June, but excitement quickly built for it as its July launch on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Steam, and Xbox Game Pass drew closer.
