How co-op works
Online co-op for up to four in a persistent backyard world. Players gather and craft, build and defend a shared base, specialize gear and mutations, fight giant insects, and progress the story; Shared Worlds allow continuation without the original host.
About this game
Grounded shrinks you down to the size of an ant and drops you into a backyard teeming with oversized spiders, beetles, and other creatures that now tower over you. This cooperative survival adventure from Obsidian Entertainment challenges you and up to three friends to explore, scavenge, and stay alive in a world where a simple blade of grass becomes a towering landmark.

You'll craft tools and armor from scavenged materials, build shelters to protect your crew, and venture into dangerous biomes in search of rare resources. The survival systems reward careful planning and communication, especially when fending off aggressive insects or tackling the larger story-driven threats hidden across the yard.
Grounded supports online co-op for up to four players, making every expedition a shared challenge that demands coordination and real-time strategizing. Whether you're fortifying your base or exploring uncharted areas, the session-based structure keeps the stakes high and the teamwork constant.
