Grounded is free to play this weekend on Steam! Invite your friends, dive in, and check out "Fully Yoked" 1.4 update: the premiere Grounded experience that's bulging with new content and features.



Ends 4/22 @ 10am PT, so grab your friends get FULLY YOKED today!

Hey, Grounded fans! The backyard is buzzing with excitement, and it's all because of our latest update, "Fully Yoked" – and yes, it's as massive as it sounds! We're not just talking big; it's bulging with a ton of new content, features, and quality-of-life updates! This Fully Yoked update is here to turn your backyard into an epic adventure like never before. Let's dive into the wonders waiting for you in this colossal update!




The royal Ant Queens have arrived! These regal creatures are more than just a new face; they bring a new vibe to the backyard. When meeting them, it won’t be about 'flexing your muscles' in combat but more about flexing your decision-making skills; it’s about choices and consequences - ally with them and gain powerful friends, betray them and brace for some severe ant-itude, or you can do the third option, which is [REDACTED]! These decisions echo across your entire experience, so choose your path wisely and watch your journey unfold with these new influential neighbors.



And the excitement doesn’t stop there – get ready for 12 new Ant Queen-inspired buildings, like the grand Ant Queen Chaises and Chandeliers as the 'bench press' of ant architecture. Plus, for pet enthusiasts, there's a heartwarming twist – the chance to adopt a baby ant pet. Remember, every choice in the ant world carries weight, shaping the relationships within this tiny, yet 'mighty', kingdom.




Get ready to 'lift' your adventure to new heights with our 'New Game+' mode. After you conquer the mightiest of foes like the Broodmother and the Wasp Queen, you'll unlock the REMIX.R, leading you to alternate dimensions with remixed challenges. Every playthrough is a unique experience with creatures appearing in new spots, more demanding bosses, and hidden secrets.



But beware – some creatures are infused with Raw Science, making them stronger, faster, and harder to fight. Overcome these challenges to collect special trinkets with unique properties. Plus, don't miss out on the new ASL content, Milk Molars in randomized locations, and the all-important Yoking Station for that extra power boost in remixed yards.




We're always listening to our community, and this update brings quality-of-life improvements that make the backyard more enjoyable. Multiplayer fans, rejoice! Hosts can now switch saves without a hitch, keeping the adventure flowing. Lost a pet? Our 'Recover Pets' feature ensures they'll find their way back home. For our builders and creators, the new object capacity meter is a godsend for optimizing performance and sharing your world creations.

Speaking of creation, the Playground mode now offers even more control and options for crafting your unique backyard. Report rule-violating Playgrounds, quickly identify trinkets, and delve into a trove of new content – it's all part of enhancing your Grounded experience.




"Fully Yoked" is not holding back. The update is packed with over 20 new items and equipment, from the Termite King Pipe Organ to decorative rugs. Achievement hunters prepare for new challenges and the game-changing 'Antbassador' mutation. And we didn't forget about Playgrounds as they received fresh news props to add more possibilities for creativity.

Wrapping Up This Final Content Update

To help show you how Grounded is now beefier than ever, continue reading the patch notes below! The 'Fully Yoked' update brings endless possibilities to your backyard escapades. The game has evolved in many ways, such as adding full Japanese VO for all players to check out. On top of that, the game can now be played on multiple platforms, including the newly added PlayStation 4|5 and Nintendo Switch. Now, players across all platforms can experience this Grounded: Fully Yoked edition of the final game, together.

Lastly, a huge thank you to our incredible community. Your support and passion have shaped Grounded into what it is today. As our last planned content update, we promise to keep refining and perfecting your experience in the game so you and your friends can play in the backyard.

Stay safe, and as always – stay Grounded!


Hey Grounded fans! We are proud to present to you the "Fully Yoked" 1.4 update: the premiere Grounded experience swole with new content.

Each of the three ant colonies now has a royal leader residing deep within their respective hills. These new Ant Queens are not fightable bosses. They instead offer you a choice: either befriend or betray with a tasty offering. Which you choose affects the rewards you receive and how the colony reacts. Some choices have cascading effects that aren't immediately apparent...

Next up, we've remixed your backyard! Introducing the New Game+ mode: a complete overhaul that adds layers of complexity and challenge. Instead of finishing the game, you will have the option to enter an alternate dimension via the new REMIX.R device. Each playthrough in this mode remixes the yard in a host of ways that will give you new challenges and rewards.

Accessing New Game+ requires defeating the Broodmother, Mantis, Wasp Queen, and completing the Javamatic fight. When entering this mode, all of your existing bases, items, recipes unlocks, etc. will carry over with you.

In Remixed backyards, creatures can be infused with the power of Raw Science. Not only do they have more health, do more damage, and attack faster, but they also have unique properties that make them extra challenging. 

The good news is that infused creatures can drop special trinkets that are also infused with Raw Science. These new trinkets also have special randomized properties. Ominent Badges can be collected again, and have new properties, and every BURG.L Chip awards a new BURG.L Chip Trinket, they too will have randomized properties to give you more options on how to build your character.

The Yoking Station, available at the ASL in a remixed yard, allows you to upgrade your weapons to even more powerful levels. To upgrade your weapons, you will need to find new materials and resources only found in remixed yards. 

Molars can be gathered once more, and you will need to continue to collect them to stay as swole as the creatures of the yard. In a remixed yard, the molars are now in new, randomized locations. 

There are a large number of new additions to the Science Shop. Check out the ASL for a new sign set, the Yoking Station, new weapons, equipment, and more, that can only be purchased in a remixed yard. To help with purchasing the new items there are new Raw Science spawn locations, and MIX.Rs have increased rewards.

There are other changes that are made to the yard in a remixed world, including more loot chests, different candy, and some other surprises. 

The game can now be played additional platforms, including the newly added PlayStation 4|5 and Nintendo Switch. Players across all platforms can experience this Grounded: Fully Yoked edition of the final game, together, with crossplay!

By default, natural enemies will fight each other if they are near each other, and neutral creatures will fight each other if struck accidentally. This can now be turned off (useful in Playgrounds when designing encounter rooms for the player).

Links now have 5 color options for distinguishing them while editing.

You can now load a save while in the middle of a multiplayer session. All connected clients will load into the new world once the load is complete.

• A new Game Repair button has been added to recover any pets that are not currently following you.
  
• Pets allocated to a pet house will also teleport to their house, in case they are outside of the terrain.

• An object capacity meter can be found on the pause menu that tells you how many objects, either in a Playground or a standard game, you have in your level. This is useful to know if you are sharing worlds with lower end machines to make sure the game can be played reliably on all hardware.
  
• If you have no intention of having your yard be as crossplay compatible as possible, this capacity limit can be changed in the Game Settings menu to match your platform's suggested limit or have no limit at all.

There are now buttons available to copy and paste the configuration of a Link in a Playground.

Community Playgrounds can be filtered by keywords, player count and genre while browsing.

The ultimate Grounded experience is now bulging with content that's sure to get you pumped! Fully Yoked update contains new ant queens, new game + mode, and an array of exciting new gear. Are you ready to get Fully Yoked? Grounded: Fully Yoked is available 8am PT / 11am ET tomorrow, April 16, 2024.

Hey, Grounded friends! We're absolutely buzzing to introduce the upcoming "Fully Yoked" 1.4 update – the ultimate Grounded experience bulging with new content that's sure to get you pumped!



First up, let's talk ants. Each of the three ant colonies in Grounded now has a royal leader you can meet, the Ant Queen, who can be found deep within their respective hills. You will face a crucial decision with each queen: to befriend or betray her with a delectable offering. The path you choose determines not only the unique rewards you'll receive but will also shape how the entire colony reacts to you. But tread carefully – some decisions have ripple effects that might not be immediately obvious...


Ready for a backyard makeover, Grounded style? The New Game+ mode brings a thrilling twist to every corner of your backyard, heightening your gaming experience with unique challenges. Each playthrough morphs the backyard in astonishing ways, introducing a multitude of new system enhancements. Accessing this mode isn't a walk in the yard – you'll need to conquer the Broodmother, Mantis, Wasp Queen, and emerge victorious in the Javamatic fight. After defeating those bosses, players can choose to leap into an alternate dimension courtesy of Wendell's new creation, the REMIX.R. Expect different creature spawns, tougher bosses, and a host of eerie anomalies and hidden secrets in these otherworldly dimensions.

In a remixed yard, be prepared to face creatures infused with the essence of Raw Science. These beasts aren't just tougher – they're quicker, stronger, and have unique abilities that elevate the challenge. But fear not! Defeating these infused creatures rewards you with special trinkets, also infused with Raw Science. These trinkets come with random, unique properties, offering a myriad of ways to enhance your character. Keep an eye out for Ominent Badges and new BURG.L Chip Trinkets as they too will have randomized properties to give you more options on how to build your character.
To get more powerful, you will need to purchase the Yoking Station from the ASL (Advanced System Library) in remixed yards. Here, you can level up your weapons to previously unimaginable strengths. Be prepared to scour these new realms for unique materials required for these upgrades.
Don't forget to keep collecting molars, now hidden in randomized spots in remixed yards. Staying as mighty as the backyard's inhabitants demands constant strength upgrades, and these molars are key.

• Hosts can now load a save while in the middle of a multiplayer session and all connected players will seamlessly transition into the new game world.
  
• Full Japanese Voice Overs: Immerse yourself completely with full Japanese voice-overs, covering everything from the teen characters to BURG.L, cutscenes, and audio logs. Simply enable this feature from the Game Options menu.
  
• The 1.4 update adds four new achievements, one new mutation, twelve Ant Queen-related buildings, new baby ant pets, and so much more we can’t list here!
  
• Cross play will be supported across Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Mark your calendars, because on April 16th, the “Fully Yoked” 1.4 update goes live across all platforms with help from our amazing partners, Double Eleven, offering a whole new dimension of backyard adventure for our 20 million and growing player community. This release is not just another update; it's the last planned content update for Grounded, poised to make your gaming experience more thrilling than ever. Gear up for a backyard adventure that's truly yoked!
