Grounded reached one million players in two days, Obsidian promises monthly updates

Obsidian took quite a risk at XO19 last year when it announced Grounded. Rather than sticking to its single-player RPG roots, a small team at Obsidian splintered off to work on an early access survival game. As it turns out, Obsidian knocked it out of the park too, with Grounded attracting over a million players in its first two days. 

Grounded has continued to be a top-seller on Steam since release last week and thanks to Game Pass on PC and console, over a million players have tried out the game so far. Unfortunately, the story content currently available is quite short, but Obsidian is going to keep players engaged with monthly updates.

In a message from Grounded Game Director, Adam Brennecke, we learned that the first monthly update will be coming on the 27th of August. We can expect to see continued monthly updates after that too, as Obsidian continues to work through the early access process and finish up the game.

KitGuru Says: I've played a few hours of Grounded so far with a group of friends and I've got to say, the game definitely surprised me. I didn't think I wanted a co-op survival game from Obsidian, but I'm sure glad we got one. Have any of you tried Grounded yet? What do you think of the game so far?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
