Grounded 2 gets a new trailer and early access date at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025

The Xbox Games Showcase is ongoing as of the time of writing on June 8, 2025. Grounded 2's announcement was perhaps one of the most exciting ones after the first game received a warm reception from fans back in 2022.

The new trailer shows improved visuals and the same co-operative gameplay story that made the first title so entertaining. The story of Grounded 2 is set several years after the events of the first game.

The original story follows four teens who get shrunken and are trapped in the yard of the scientist Dr. Wendell Tully, who invented the shrinking machine, i.e., the SPAC.R.. To get out, you must first find the scattered pieces of the machine and return to your normal size.

Players can look forward to the title's Early Access on Steam and Game Preview on Xbox Series X/S on July 29, 2025.
