The Grounded 1.0 release time has been confirmed by Obsidian as September 27, 10.00 AM PT, 1.00 PM ET, or 6.00 PM BST, depending on your location. The full 1.0 release of Grounded has been in the works of early access for over two years, with only a "preview build" available that was getting regular content updates, but the 27th marks the first time that a full version of the game will be available to the public (though more updates and extras are planned for the future). We'll explain in more detail below the release times and dates for Grounded 1.0, as well as how you can play the game.

Keep in mind that these times appear to be when the download will go live, so players will still have to then download the updated build if they already own the game.
