You've been having fun playing it, it's now time to nominate Grounded for Better with Friends in the Steam Awards!



That's right! Your favorite game to explore a backyard with your friends is asking you to help us by nominating us to help show that the backyard is indeed a better place with friends to play with.

While you can face the backyard alone or together, with the Shared Worlds feature, you can continue to play in your shared world even if the original host is not on, with all your progression saving! That allows your friends to keep playing even if you need to leave and will enable you to come back to see what they've done in your absence.

We have been on this journey together for a long time throughout the development process, and we wouldn't be where we are today without your help and support, so thank ... Read more

Are you ready for the next Grounded update? Because we are!

This past weekend was Obsidian's annual Extra Life stream. Through the help of employees and the viewers, we raised over $28K for our local children's hospital, the Children's Hospital of Orange County.

For reaching our $18K goal this year, we had a very special video we played to help tease the next update. Check it out!



Did you catch it all? Koi Scale Chairs, an additional row of backpack inventory, and an expanded HotPouch with three rows. But that's not all! Our focus for this upcoming update is expanding on the quality-of-life features of the game, adding more base building options, and adding a few often-requested features. Here’s a taste of what’s to come:

Additional Inventory Row We are adding an additional inventory row that ... Read more
