### So, Like, Is Grounded 2 Coming to Xbox Game Pass or What?
Okay, so here’s the deal. Grounded 2, which folks are buzzing about, is gonna be on Xbox Game Pass if you’ve got Xbox Series X|S or PC Game Pass. But—and this is weird—you can’t play it with just the regular console-specific Game Pass. Why? I dunno. Corporate logic or something.
#### Catchy, Right? Here’s the Scoop
I was watching this trailer for Grounded 2 – you know, that game where you’re as small as an ant? Anyway, they’re showing off these massive new maps and freaky cool rideable bugs, which is bonkers in the best way. July 29 is when it hits Early Access, so mark your calendar… or don’t. Totally your call.
Game Pass fans, rejoice! This sequel’s gonna be there day one as part of a big Xbox push to throw all their games onto Game Pass. Except, wait—hang on. You won’t find it on the basic console tier. Weird choice, right? Just pay for the Ultimate. Maybe poke around CDKeys for a discount. I heard they’re selling it cheaper, but who knows how long that’ll last.
#### Alternatives? Oh, Sure!
Let’s say you’re like me sometimes, a bit iffy about subscriptions. Good news: you can just buy Grounded 2. Straight up. It’ll run you about $29.99 or that Founder’s Edition with extra goodies for $39.99. Who doesn’t love exclusive emotes and art, huh?
Side note: Prices might go up after Early Access. A little sneaky, right? So, if you’re keen, snap it up early. I remember when the first Grounded went up in price… caught me off guard.
And there’s this thing, Xbox Wire says: prices are for the Early Access only. So, what happens after that? Do they throw in a gold-plated ant or something?
Anyway, that’s the gist. Are you hyped yet? Or just confused? Either way, get prepped to shrink down and explore—if you can figure out which subscription you need.
