What is Grounded? Grounded is a new cooperative multiplayer survival-adventure game developed by Obsidian Entertainment. In Grounded, you have been shrunken down to the size of an ant! Explore, build, and survive together as you work and fight to overcome the hordes of giant insects and endure the hardships of the backyard!

With a core development team of about 12 people, this agile team is excited to be working with the community to build the survival game we all want to play. This is just the start of this journey together, and we look forward to building this game together!

Join Game Director, Adam Brennecke, Senior Programmer, Roby Atadero, and Environment Artist, Sean Dunny, and our special guest moderator Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb as they discuss our upcoming survival game: Grounded!

The team will walk you through footage of the game, giving you an inside glimpse into life in the backyard! Plus, there will be time for a Q&A session that will allow attendees an opportunity to ask questions about the game.

This is definitely something for us to consider for the future. We don't have any plans at this time to include VR support, but you never know what can change. :)

An honest typo, but thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it!

And thanks everyone, welcome to the community!
