Grounded 2 Arrives on PlayStation 5 on August 11
More players are about to enter Brookhollow Park.
We're excited to share that Grounded 2 launches on PlayStation 5 on August 11, bringing an entirely new community of players into the park as we continue growing the game throughout our early access development period.
Since day one, Grounded has been built alongside its community. Some of the biggest features, improvements, and changes in the original game came directly from player feedback, and that's something we've carried forward into Grounded 2.
Whether you're stepping into the park for the first time or you've already been surviving your way through Brookhollow Park, August 11 is shaping up to be a big day.
Launching alongside the PlayStation 5 release is our next major content update, Into the Abyss.
This update opens the pond, giving players an entirely new area to explore both above and below the water's surface. It's one of the biggest additions to the game so far and brings new locations to discover, new progression paths to pursue, and new dangers waiting both above and below the water.
The pond is more than just a body of water. Players will explore new areas like the Mountains, the Bayou, and the depths below the surface, each offering new discoveries and challenges. As they progress, diving suits will allow them to stay underwater longer and reach previously inaccessible areas, while familiar creatures like the koi fish and diving bell spider return alongside new surprises waiting to be uncovered.
Players will also get their hands on the Toe-biter, a new amphibious Buggy capable of traversing both land and water. Whether you're exploring the shoreline, searching for hidden secrets, or trying to escape whatever is chasing you, the Toe-biter opens up entirely new ways to experience the pond.
We're especially excited for players to see what the team has been building. The pond gave us an opportunity to revisit underwater exploration with everything we've learned from the original Grounded, while continuing to expand what Grounded 2 can be.
August 11 marks the next milestone for the game. New players will be joining the adventure, existing players will have a massive new area to explore, and Brookhollow Park will continue growing with every update still to come.
We'll see you in the park.
