GROUNDED Make It and Break It Game Update 1.3

[@DarthFr0gg]

This is one of my favorite games of all time. It’s just so well put together and crafted. Thanks for being awesome, Obsidian.

[@michael_m38]

agreed

[@AnthonyCriss-8]

Agreed.

[@georges9760]

Yeah and please bring us more single player content. The shed/House being pulled off would be awesome.

[@DarthFr0gg]

@@georges9760 I think they’ll use that opportunity when the release G2. Or maybe you’ll be in another part of the country completely. I think this one is set in Maine?

[@georges9760]

@@DarthFr0gg I seen leaks, NEW leaks not the old hamster cage and stuff in the shed. They are very likely going into that shed. The house would be very hard to pull off though. If they could pull it off though would be insane.

[@laughoutloud7844]

You all are still making games for the players after all these years and I'm so grateful for that. Thanks for all the fun times. 🎉

[@aBadWizard]

This just opened up SO much potential for Grounded. One of the greatest updates to a game I've ever seen, no lie.

[@diplomate29]

Yes ! Same, gotta be the best update for a game I've seen in my life

[@Shhtick]

Did nothing for survival 💀

[@cursedfl4mes645]

@@Shhtickliterally revamped how most the weapons worked and changed daily challenges and the potion system but ok bud

[@aBadWizard]

@@Shhtick let em cook

[@GM_Joseph]

@@Shhtickyeah but it brings basically an infinite supply of content that the fans themselves have control over, while obsidian works on more survival content.

[@vanigliacarogna6962]

This game is a gem, I hope you keep supporting it for a long time!

[@Connor-gw2xm]

The fact that the dev team is setting up custom map making built into the game for the longevity and health of not only the game but the community is awesome!

[@JAIMEGARCIA-gw9re]

Grounded is proof that you don't need a massive team to make a great game. In fact, I think smaller teams are more efficient and more creative. This game is so good.

[@shortyylu]

Yeah it seems the bigger team games come out way shittier and it’s sad tbh… you’d think they’d be better but it’s not.

[@smolpp585]

Only Obsidian could go head first into doing a game genre they have no experience in and come out with a actually decent game.

[@StealthyZombie]

They have experience with RPG’s. This your first Obsidian game huh?

[@Arkytek]

@@StealthyZombie most of those og devs left a LONGGGG time ago

[@superbeta1716]

@@StealthyZombie Yes because an RPG is just the same as a survival, base building game... Is this your first game played... ever?

[@blankusername5914]

What about Horizon Zero Dawn though. I personally didn't like it (maybe I need to play it more) but they stepped into a genre where they had 0 experience (since they only made Killzone first person and top down third person before) and came out with a good game. Still is impressive here but Guerrilla might also be the same in that way

[@alasdairmackintosh]

​@StealthyZombie Grounded is an action-adventure survival game at best not an rpg. You just go around acting smug whether or not you actually know what you're talking about, huh?

[@Insomnii95]

Early on I always talked about how this game could go the route of minecraft. Feel like we are slowly heading this, and I'm loving it. Amazing game. But as more of this sandbox/forge-esque stuff is being added, I'm looking forward to seeing where this game is 5/10 years from now. Would mainly love to see more "mod" friendly stuff. Mainly cause I'd love to dabble with adding rideable insects, or my dream of having a turtle in the pond that I can build a fort on their back, going further with fighting off waves as the turtle travels to other yards in the block. Give us the tools. Make sure they are good tools. Give us the freedom, and we can take it from there.

[@ninjasuikai]

Mod support would be insane. One of my (and many others) biggest complaint about the game is that there's not much replayability. Everything is always in the same spot, every time, and the tasks are always the same. You can try a different weapon, but you could just do that in your one "main" playthrough too (and there's also not a lot of variability in how "builds" affect your overall playstyle, either). With the right tools, the sky is truly the limit with modding. Custom weapons, armor, bosses, common bugs, and even yards would keep the game fresh and allow the game to continue having longevity even after the devs inevitably stop updating it.

[@BlameItOnTheLagTTV]

Bruh this he’s the main character

[@bryanvalley9]

Just logged in on Xbox Game Pass and learned of this update! I just started playing a week ago and this game is amazing. Screw game pass, I just bought it on Steam to support further development.

[@georges9760]

Keeps your saves safe too, Microsoft make it impossible because of their coded files.

[@Toddy761]

Grounded is an excellent game, it deserves a 10/10, A+, my first game

[@joypadbandit624]

One of my personal favorite Survival games EVER! 😤😊

[@slate613]

Loving all the new additions/changes. Just one little request. Can we please get doors that can be placed on 45's, not just 90's?

[@camyrocks123]

You guys are such an amazing team, keep up the amazing updates

[@KayaEdy]

Just O.M.G. !!! 😍 It was already a great game but now you got my vote for THE BEST GAME ! 🎉 Thank you for your dedication and work! 💯👍

[@shiningdagr]

When you guys first started doing a survival game I felt a little iffy since it was an area they didn't really have experience with but I have been surprised so much by this game. By 1.0 I already felt like it was one of the best survival games out there and it feels like with each update you keep managing to make it better and better. I love how much you are listening to the fans too and it feels like pretty much every little thing that frustrates me at times in survival game you have taken into account and worked on improving it.

[@JPooger]

I love when devs acknowledge the creativity of thier community and share the tools to craft thier own experience.

[@Ashtarte3D]

Nice to see this still getting support. Hadn't played since I beat the game at 1.0 but Playgrounds seem like a way to get me back if the community makes some cool stuff to sample.

[@amber_sight7385]

always giving the players what they want unlike a lot of other companies these days, bravo obsidian and gounded devs, bravo

[@fuyu848]

Glad to see the game got a new amazing update

[@mine_play13]

without a doubt grounded and one of the best survival/RPG survival games I've ever played, and also one of the best online games today, really an incredible game, and there's a lot of dedication and care in its development, congratulations obsidian for making this addictive game which many love. Lastly, I make a request that I see a lot from grounded players Please add Local Co op Or Split Screen.😁

[@allenbee3798]

I think this idea for the game is perfect! But as of release of this update you can't make things like pools of water or your own trees in your custom back yard but at the moment your own custom koi pond isn't possible and making trees will take you huge amounts time working on it, with the time and practice of the people making things with this update many will learn how to make incredible custom backyards and that would be amazing for the community, and with time this system will probably get bigger and better giving even more possibility.

[@kutchero]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN i really Love Obsidians Grounded listening to the community It's the community that keeps this game alive

[@jacobf2833]

Not only a Creative/Forge type sandbox community building, but also SO many amazing QoL improvements too, like a quest system update, tufts not taking up trinket slots (unless using the infinite use one, which is now actually infinite lol), new builds, quicker attacking, new basic trinkets, new basic healing potion, and one of the biggest things for me who's nearly 100% the game except for getting all teeth and stuff: Collectibles MARKED ON THE MAP FOR EASY COLLECTING WITH GUIDES. That was about the only thing left me and my friend had to do other than beat the Infected Broodmother, just collecting all the teeth and raw science around the world, so now that won't be as insanely hard anymore. Thank you Obsidian, for consistently improving your game

[@blueking3847]

I’ve been playing this since it came out 3 years ago and it has changed so much I’ve been loving what you’ve done with the updates keep it up

[@jonah2005uk]

same

[@CrowNiffoc]

This is the best survival Game ever with constantly new Content and Updates!!! Love it!

[@macko1732]

And thats one of those few games that actually makes good updates and isnt bugged, good job

[@nmavrantzas]

It was an amazing game already, this makes it even better!

[@tiseril]

I absolutely love you guys, EVERY single one of the problems I had with the game has been fixed in this update. 500 in game hours about to turn into a 1000

[@ricardomora9913]

This game was already good and you make it even better, thanks.

[@noahbernstein5536]

I did not play grounded since about a year but im shure in a few months me and my friend will start playing again. This content looks great and im shure i missing mutch in the past months. Still love the game and it will always have a place in my heart and i hope you dont stop now and support this game many more years and make it on of the greatest survival games of all time.

[@ARTHUR-KANE]

Yoooo! my brain is in a storm! Endless possibilities in the backyard for creative mode, FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SHARE,PLAY, AND ENJOY! I can't wait to get started on creating something BIG!

[@marioduran3279]

This game has exploded since day one release. I played it when they just released an early access and had fun. Then I set it down for a while and just recently got back. It's mind-blowing how much it's changed. Keep the good stuff coming. Split screen would be awesome, I can have my grandson play with me.

[@chocolatelightning]

is there ever going to be more story content or map expansions? I dont hate this but I do hope for more story one day...

[@loyloygeralde554]

They said there is a big update coming 6-8 months a few months ago. They said they got future content coming next few years.

[@chocolatelightning]

​ @loyloygeralde554 I mean I figured something "big" is coming with all the hints to the house over the years I just hope microsoft does not have other ideas of what the developers should be working on if you know what I mean.......

[@RNSSE00]

This dev team is one of the few that actually knows whats up.

[@jacepro2827]

Some things we can add to the game: 1. Roll/Dodge Mechanic 2. More robust pet system like intimacy where you can have more interactions with your pet to make worthwhile and maybe they can help during combat too by making sounds when enemy is about to attack and also, more rare pets like scarabs and maybe even a orb weaver jr would be dope! 3. A more robust transport system for high tier creatures, like taming a moth and making it live in your base and then when you need a transport you can ride on her back and drop you there and see her return back to your base. I feel like they are a beauty and would be a waste if we can't see her living on our base. Oh and I like Black Ox Beetles too!

[@DryLeavesBoiled]

I played the update, and as someone who really enjoys the creative toolsets in games. I'm a little disappointed, but I understand there are probably technical limitations! You can't place or edit any of the big props (shed, tree, bushes, castle, pagoda, large landscapes elements, cannister etc) , and the empty garden is half the size of the normal backyard. No ability to add ant hills, labs, tunnels, ponds, gas, etc. No way to change the terrain or edit what's already there (unless it's small props). There's some QoL stuff missing too, like the ability to brush delete, instead you have to delete one by one. The gnat is very slow even at max speed, it takes a long time to cross the yard. You can't scale props, so if you want to make your own tree you would have to make it out of many many small roots. etc. Logic is a really nice addition, and can open and lock doors, make traps. It seems focused on mostly aesthetics. I'd still like to see an elevator though! This update seems heavily geared towards creating contained experiences. Missions, minigames, etc. Rather than whole new maps to play through the game with. Personally I would love to make or play the game through a whole new backyard. I'm not that interested in gathering my friends together just to play basketball or minigames. I adore Grounded and I am really glad there's still content being developed for it! I wish this update added a bit more from what was already there?

[@draemalic]

Thank you Obsidian team for continuing to make this already amazing game, even more amazing.

[@benjizdavis8157]

Omg this is insane. I cant imagine how the community will make this game now ! I hope you will add a weather system. I mean random raining - storm - sun first and why not seasons with snow or some leafs and special items and conditions.... Thanks a lot for this game

[@MrBudarocks]

This game is proof that the industry is not just made of AAA games. Great update congratulations.

[@ricy4059]

Once again obsidian are being one of the best game devs on the planet. I love the transparency and update videos. Plus you just add so many features I didn't know I needed that are QoL which most other devs are too lazy to implement. Obsidian are up with coffee stain studios for S-tiered Devs

[@CeltiesSin]

I don’t love that we can’t get questionable slop anymore >_> I appreciate that they replaced it with something “better”, but what am I gonna do with my 900 ant parts now? A bit annoying but overall, a cool update…

[@CK_Buff]

I played this game back in game preview program. Damn it is finally finished. So much stuff. Holy moly

[@NerdicusGoblinski]

Last winter this game consumed my gaming groups and family. I can't wait for another winter season of backyard shinanigans!

[@JosephAnterola]

Grounded... the game we want but don't deserve.... thank you obsidian!!!!

[@ry754]

Love when developers actually continue to produce solid and amazing content, me and my friends tried it when it was free to play, deciding to buy it right after the session. With all the adjustments you can make it really opens up the game to everyone at any skill level

[@patricksharpe]

Now this is what I'm talking about!!! Great work Obsidian!

[@CroppedThrone]

You guys out did yourself this update! Keep the content train going! ❤️

[@Zayd2001]

Obsidian literally said "you want DLC?! FINE! Go make your own!" and I love it!

[@Yalloriess]

Obsidian social media people: If i may be so bold to say this is awesome and hope that in a future update aside from Story, Shed, and House DLC that we get a big update for a chaarcter creator that allows us to create our own bugs, robots, and more? That has so much potential mixed in with this update!!

[@J-E-SS-E-]

One of the best games I’ve ever played

[@SLCclimber]

Such a sleeper hit, man. I just don't know how it hasn't gotten more press. You guys rock! "Gimme a plate a-that!"

what the hell is this update. i just cant even put it into words how amazed i am. hearded the first few changes and tought wow thats cool and it just keeps getting better and better. mindblowing update. really great work keep it up.

[@insafinar5995]

This has to be one of the best Updates a Game has ever recieved. I tried researching how much the Update costs but it seems to be free. Thats Insane, for this stuff alone i would have been willing to pay 10-15 bucks....

[@B3MYDARL1NG]

Love this game and it really shows that the devs care about their community and the game. Amazing update.

Fantastic 👏 great work Obsidian team, seriously 👏 already excited about a grounded 2

[@ja-nozreaper5865]

Another great update, but still I dont know what to do with loots od boss parts, acid glants, tough gunk, wasp legs and green shield bug parts. Why can we made glue of those?

[@rambow70]

I love this game. A friend and I have been playing for over a year now! It would be cool if a new area was added or another boss! Maybe.. the front yard??

[@Baxlax]

By far one of the best games I ever played co op with a friend. So glad with another amazing update. Keep it up!

[@NationJJ]

Most underrated game in recent memory.

[@Pienz22]

Holy Shit, this is next level . if players now could add/tweak their own items (for their creations ) thats would make this game immortal.

[@shadowxxwizard7379]

I actually love the obsidian team, every update they put out has loads of new content, they update fairly regularly and you guys love the fans, I don't know many devs these days who actually listen to their fanbase

Insanely underrated game! You guys make great stuff- thank you!!

[@derp2500]

[@hongkongboyfriend1051]

great update thanks!! im used to playing games where the updates just serve to facilitate more microtransactions...this restored some faith in the gaming community for me

[@rayhorizons]

Seriously this update is amazing I’ve never played grounded but this really makes me want to play

[@Conrad500]

These updates are awesome! I think this may breathe new life into the game for new players, but as someone who's gone to the final boss, I don't think I'm coming back for the updates. I liked grounded as a survival game, not a sandbox (just my personal tastes) so there is little here for me. It could be fun to play some challenge maps and stuff though! A community browser would be amazing, but I understand that anything like that would require moderation, which is a big ask. 8.5/10 update, even if I won't be playing it much. Keep up the good work!

[@kaydenteel8868]

It would be cool if they could make a whole new backyard (hear me out) it’s like a whole new story new characters and backyard that you can experience a new story different bosses and obviously the same objective. To eventually grow big again, make it almost like a dlc $15-$30 to get it (I also understand that’s not easy so it would take time but it would give ppl more of a reason to comeback and play again)

[@meganbalsmeier7666]

I really want to try and create things like that myself but with how this playground is at the moment it's impossible so we would have to just hope they update the playground or give us something like you said.

[@HBS_GolemYT]

I love this game and this update seems awesome from what I see, but it cracked me up when he said “imagine a blank backyard”😂😂

This game studio is awesome! No pay to win, skins, or packs. Just great content in a great game.

[@Hamuelin]

It'll be good to see the wiring part of this in the regular game

[@DStripeM]

I really hope they make a second game it's one of those games that even if you played it, you'll return to play it again even after years it's been out. It is a very rare gem indeed to progress in the franchise. Adding a more in-depth story of omni, maybe the next one will be indoors or with more insects to fight. I really hope they didn't throw the idea out the window.

[@snazzyktv5980]

This is so cool! honestly, the only thing i would add is being able to tame and ride some of the bugs

[@DC2022]

As usual, you people are amazing, as the game!

[@Soupy_loopy]

Just started a new game. I already loved this game before, but I can already tell it's a lot better now. The only thing that seems weird is how the running is toggled. I seem to be always running when I'm not even trying to run, and my stamina gets drained quickly. It's almost like running is the default and I have to push the stick to walk (opposite of normal)

[@Zarostar]

I think you may have hit the auto run feature.. Running is not toggled by default, check your settings just incase

[@dantuga5412]

[@Zbigniewkucharski222]

update is cool, but as an adventure gamer, I expected changes to be introduced in the story mode, such as level 4 tools and weapons, new worms, or another laboratory with a super chip. I hope in the next update you will focus on story things

[@jlemton6900]

This is what I was thinking as well, but I think we're in the minority here. In MY opinion I feel like they went in the wrong direction. But again, that's just my opinion and not hating at all.

Cant believe how amazing this game is

[@KP_Nation]

Well worth the wait! Keep up the great work!!

[@cemrebasoglu3113]

Please add a system to the Grounded game that allows us to domesticate live bugs. This would be a great way to add more content to the game and give players a new way to interact with the world. Players could collect different types of bugs and train them to perform tasks, such as gathering resources or fighting enemies. This would add a new layer of depth and complexity to the game.
