The Rot and Ruin Update expands Grounded 2 with a new area to explore, dangerous creatures to face, another Buggy to saddle up on, and new ways to customize both your gear and your home away from home. Explore the WoodpileA new adventure awaits in the Woodpile, where towering structures and winding passages have become home to a familiar threat. Termites are back, including Workers, Soldiers, the mighty Termite King, and new O.G.R.R. variants. But these aren't exactly the Termites you remember. Keep an eye out for new attacks and some particularly strange behavior as you make your way deeper into their territory. And Termites aren't the biggest thing lurking among the rot. One of the community's most requested creatures is finally crawling into the Park. Prepare to face the Centipede, a formidable new boss with plenty of legs and even more reasons to run. Saddle Up on the Potato BeetleNeed some backup? The Potato Beetle Buggy is ready to roll. Bigger than the Ladybug Buggy and built for close-range combat, this Potato Beetle Buggy can unleash a spread of projectiles against creatures in front of it and use its Healing Roar to help keep you in the fight. It can also haul resources and contribute materials to blueprints while you're out building across the Park. Paint the ParkYour base, your colors. Painting gives builders a new way to personalize their creations by crafting paint and putting it to use with a new paintball gun we are calling the Splotcher. Walls, floors, roofs, stairs, doors, and other structures can take on a fresh coat of color, giving you even more ways to make your corner of Brookhollow Park your own. Take Your Gear FurtherThe Fall Update also introduces a new way to keep your favorite equipment growing alongside you. Weapons and armor can be upgraded to higher Tiers using Bismuth, a new resource connected to the strange forces of Raw Science beneath the Park. Gather it, refine it, and put it to work at the new Yoking Press to make your equipment even stronger. And there's still more to discover, including new SCA.B Themes, collectible miniatures, new stations, and more when Rot and Ruin arrives in Grounded 2 this fall. Grounded 2 (XBOX Game Preview) is available now for XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, and Game Pass. Also available on Steam through Early Access and PlayStation 5.

Patch 0.5.0.5 has been released on all available platforms. Thank you so much for your reports on the Into the Abyss update for Grounded 2. The team has been closely monitoring player feedback for the update and noticed two major things being discussed. First, the Creature Aggression and Aggro Range of certain creatures were too high, causing creature encounters and combat to turn into a giant, never-ending fight or chase. This was especially common with the Mosquitoes. The other big piece of feedback was that the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan encounter was too difficult. The team has made some changes based on this feedback, and we hope the game feels more balanced and, more importantly, fun for you. If you are encountering any issues or would like to report additional information, please let us know and we're happy to help. As always, thank you for helping us make Grounded 2 a better experience. Creature Aggression: This is only our first step toward making this more balanced, and as always, we’ll continue to listen to player feedback. Removed 50% of the spawns for Mosquitoes and Tiger Mosquitoes Significantly reduced the vision range of Mosquitoes and Wasps Also significantly reduced the range at which these creatures will follow the player O.G.R.R Toe Biter Leviathan: Removed the Woozy Attack Reduced the nymph spawning chance Reduced the damage and health of the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where the Toe Biter Scythe would gain the “Chop” effect when upgraded with any elemental damage Due to this fix players are required to fight the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan as originally intended to upgrade to the Tier 4 Omni Axe If you have been having trouble receiving Infused Ooze from this fight, check the floor around the boss arena We have also seen the “love” for this bug, and we are investigating whether there is a way to bring back this functionality in the future. No promises, though. 🙂 Fixed an issue where, when perfect blocking, the player would still take damage from the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan Major Bug Fixes: Various crashes on all platforms have been addressed This includes improvements for players who have been receiving an Out of Memory crash on PS5 Fixed an issue where the objective to find “BURG.L’s Head” could become blocked on certain saves Fixed an issue where, on some saves, Ominent employee remains were missing, preventing players from picking up Optical Discs. As a result, players should notice that these items are now retrievable on their saves. Fixed an issue where “Text Block” would appear for the player when talking to Sloane after interacting with the MIX.R too early General Bug Fixes: Resolved an issue that was causing client player’s backpacks to float under the map preventing players from retrieving them The contents of your backpack should no longer be transferred to your Buggy Inventory when you pick up your backpack while riding a Buggy Players should no longer be able to damage other players with the Omni Clipper Players should now be able to respawn in the Gnarly Bark Outpost Fixed an issue where the Pergola Ranger Station unlocks in the wrong spot in the Park Fixed an issue where players could teleport out of the map when jumping off their Buggy in certain locations Fixed an issue where hiding a player icon results in all player icons being hidden for everyone in the session Fixed an issue where the player is unable to switch camera modes after running into a web while hauling an item Non PTS POI's will no longer show up as locked when being observed through the PTS Fast Travel UI We are aware that players are experiencing other issues outside of these fixes, and we hope to release a bigger patch as soon as possible.

If you've spent time exploring Brookhollow Park, you've probably found yourself staring at the pond, wondering what was waiting beneath the surface. With Into the Abyss, it's finally time to take the plunge. Our biggest update yet expands the park with an entirely new underwater experience that transforms how you'll explore, build, and survive. From sprawling new locations and underwater base building to dangerous new creatures, expanded progression, and a new amphibious Buggy, this update isn't just about adding more space—it's about introducing a whole new dimension to Grounded 2. Welcome to The AbyssThe pond has always stood out as one of Brookhollow Park's largest landmarks, but what you've seen so far is only the beginning. Beneath the surface lies one of Grounded 2's largest new areas to date. What first appears to be a familiar pond quickly opens into a sprawling environment with surprising verticality, hidden routes, and new points of interest. Beyond the shoreline, you'll also venture into new surrounding areas, including the Bayou and the Mountains, while those willing to take the plunge can descend into the Abyss itself. Every dive rewards curiosity, but it also demands preparation. The deeper you descend, the more you'll rely on upgraded gear, careful planning, and your understanding of the environment to survive what waits below. Every Dive Starts Before You Enter the WaterSurviving beneath the surface means preparing differently than you have before. The new Diving Suit introduces a progression path built around underwater exploration. Discovering Optical Disks unlocks new Diving Suit recipes, allowing you to craft upgraded equipment for longer expeditions and opening access to even deeper parts of the pond. Rather than treating underwater exploration as a short detour, Into the Abyss makes it an entirely new gameplay loop. Each upgrade opens new opportunities to explore deeper, discover hidden resources, and uncover more of what the pond has to offer. Build a Home Below the SurfacePlayers have built incredible creations throughout Brookhollow Park since Early Access began, and we're excited to see what you'll create next. For the first time, you'll be able to establish fully underwater bases, opening entirely new possibilities for where and how you build. New underwater building pieces, including Bubble Floors that create breathable spaces beneath the surface, let you transform the depths into your next home, staging area, or research outpost. Whether you're building for function, creativity, or simply because you've always wanted an underwater base, this update expands your toolbox in exciting new ways. New Ways to Fight. New Reasons to Prepare.Of course, the pond isn't giving up its secrets without a fight. Into the Abyss introduces new underwater combat encounters with both familiar and brand-new creatures. Returning threats like the Diving Bell Spider now share the water with new predators including the Toe Biter, while CNK robots and Pond Jockeys create new dangers throughout the surrounding areas. Every expedition asks you to rethink your gear, builds, and approach before taking the plunge. If you'd rather have a Toe Biter on your side than standing in your way, they can also be tamed and transformed into your newest Buggy. Its amphibious nature lets you seamlessly travel between land and water, opening new routes through the park while making exploration and combat feel more connected than ever. As always, choosing the right gear, mutations, and build before setting out can make all the difference once things go sideways. More Waiting to Be FoundBeyond the pond itself, Into the Abyss expands Brookhollow Park with new collectibles, additional rewards for exploration, and more reasons than ever to wander off the beaten path. Hidden throughout Brookhollow Park are Critter Capz, collectible bug-themed figurines waiting to be discovered. Tucked away in hidden corners and off-the-beaten-path locations, they're a reward for curious explorers and completionists alike, encouraging you to revisit familiar areas and uncover every new path the update has to offer. Your Next Adventure Starts Below the SurfaceOne of our goals with Grounded 2 has always been to make Brookhollow Park feel like a place worth exploring again and again. Into the Abyss takes that philosophy deeper than ever before. It's not just a new destination; it's a new way to experience the park. Every dive presents new choices, new dangers, and new discoveries waiting just below the surface. Whether you're chasing every collectible, building an underwater stronghold, or simply determined to see what lies at the very bottom of the pond, we can't wait to watch your next adventure unfold. Gear up, gather your friends, and take the plunge. We'll see you in Brookhollow Park. Grounded 2 is available in Game Preview for XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, and ROG XBOX Ally handhelds, and in Early Access on Steam and PlayStation 5. Play with Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, or purchase the game on your platform of choice. Play on both XBOX Series X|S and XBOX on PC at no additional cost with XBOX Play Anywhere.
