Obsidian explains Grounded 2 was born from technical limitations of the Xbox One: "This is our opportunity to build the world from the ground up"

A cockroach fight in Grounded 2.

While Avowed was one of this year's best RPGs, and The Outer Worlds 2 is set to be one of Xbox's biggest games later this year (if its focus in the Xbox Games Showcase is anything to go by), Obsidian Entertainment can't seem to stop the grind. During the Summer Game Fest event, it was confirmed that Grounded 2 will be joining the roster of upcoming Obsidian games, and it's coming in just over a month on July 29.

Speaking to GamesRadar+, Obsidian co-founder and Grounded 2 director Chris Parker explains why the sequel happened, as opposed to building on the original game. "Grounded worked on Xbox One, it was very hard to continue working on that platform and continue to expand the world and do everything that we wanted to do. And so there's that sort of technical limitation." This explains why the game is launching exclusively for Xbox Series X|S and PC.
