It’s a Great GamePass Title
If there’s one thing that’s become more abundantly clear over the last few months, it’s that Microsoft and its Xbox division see Xbox Game Pass subscriptions as its priority. Each and every one of its first-party titles comes to the service on day-one and it’s been no different for Grounded.
While the likes of Forza Motorsport, Halo Infinite, and other established first-party series are huge attractions for potential Xbox Game Pass subscribers, Grounded feels even more at home here.
That’s primarily down to how much more fun Grounded feels in multiplayer and the snowball effect it could have around, a group of friends, for example. If one Game Pass subscriber checks it out and recommends it to their friends, the subscription seems far more appealing at a cheaper price point — albeit a monthly recurring one — than buying the game outright, particularly when it’s still in early access.
Suddenly, one Game Pass subscriber has turned into four, and with a huge catalog of other games on the service, it’s difficult to not see the great value it offers.
