### So, is Grounded 2 on Xbox Game Pass or what?

Uh, yeah, kind of. Grounded 2 is hitting Xbox Game Pass, but here’s the kicker: it’s gonna be on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC. If you’re thinking about that console-specific Xbox Game Pass Standard? Nope, not helping you there. Lucky you, there are other options.

### Yeah, it’s coming to Game Pass, but here’s the twist

Oh man, so let’s talk surprises. Grounded 2, the follow-up to that 2020 hit where you’re ant-size and just trying not to get smushed — it’s arriving soon. Less than two weeks away, actually. Think the first game but with, like, a park map way bigger than that backyard. New ant rides, some RPG bits, you know the drill. Makes me wonder why we love being that tiny, but hey, bravery comes in small packages, right?

If you’ve been living under a rock (or in a backyard), it’s launching into Early Access on July 29. So, a bunch of folks on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC are trying to figure out if they can dive in using Xbox Game Pass. And the quick answer is yes, Microsoft keeps their word like that.

So, here’s the good thing. Grounded 2 is gonna be right there for Game Pass peeps come day one.

#### Just a heads-up: memberships matter

If you’re up for something other than digging through bugs (and not the tech kind), the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at $19.99 a month is your go-to for both Xbox and Xbox PC. Or just $11.99 if you’re sticking with PC Game Pass. And there’s this whole Xbox Cloud Gaming thing letting you jump around platforms. Progress is magically saved everywhere — pretty neat, huh?

But, sigh, console-only standard folks? Not included in the party. You can still swing for the Ultimate pass at CDKeys for a bit cheaper than the actual price—which, honestly, feels like beating the system a little.

### Other ways to play Grounded 2, if you’re curious

Big shoutout to those not keen on subscriptions. If you’re like, “I just want one game for my life,” you’re in luck. Xbox Series X|S, that PC app, or even Steam — Grounded 2 is up for grabs at $29.99. Feeling fancy? There’s a $39.99 Founder’s Edition with extra skins and such, or a $9.99 pack if you feel like upgrading later.

Heard from Xbox Wire that as the game’s in Early Access, these prices are a steal. Reminds me of when the first Grounded jumped from $29.99 to $39.99 post-launch. Wanna save some bucks? Maybe grab it sooner than later.

Anyway, I’m rambling. Keep your eyes peeled, and get those tiny shoes ready!
