Get Ready, Get Set, Buggy Racing PTB is Live

Playgrounds Mode has been updated and includes a brand-new starting map and Buggy Racing! The 0.4.1 Public Beta also includes big changes for Steam Deck Support, along with a much-needed fix for our PVP Community! Huzzah!

Grounded 2 Executable Swap:

We have officially changed our exe version, from WinGRTS → Win64.
- As of this update, Steam Deck Users can now link a Microsoft account and play online with their friends/use crossplay functionality.

Note:

With this executable change, all player settings will be reset as a result of this change. This is a one-time reset and we plan on saving your settings in the future permanently.

Playgrounds - Buggy Racing and New Map is now available!

New Playground Starting Map - Lakeside Loop
New Racing Mode for Playgrounds that allows players to build their own racetracks:
- 1-4 Players can race each other on buggies in either point-to-point or lap races
- New Playground objects to allow players to make their own racetracks
  - Race Start - Allows players to begin the race
  - Race Waypoint - A basic checkpoint illuminated by a short column of light
  - Race Waypoint Gate - A rectangular gate illuminated around the edges.
  - Sticky Sap - Something to slow down the racers.
  - Speed Boost Pad - Something to give racers a temporary speed boost

Please note that this is the first iteration of Buggy Racing, more will be added based on your feedback.

Stay safe, and stay Grounded!
