Xbox Game Pass

As Play Anywhere takes center stage, the future of Xbox has never been clearer: "Our plan is to keep making amazing games and have them reach as many players as we can"

Grounded 2 is targeting updates every "four to five months" after Obsidian learned the hard way: "When we started with Grounded 1 in early access we were trying to do monthly updates – that was a hassle and it didn't work"

With The Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian is dedicated to making sneaky playstyles truly viable: "We have a strike team going room-by-room to see if we can stealth properly through each location"

Obsidian won't rule out bringing Grounded 2 to PS5 in the future, but says that its initial release is "all about being in Game Preview and Early Access"

Everything is bigger in Grounded 2, but Obsidian never considered stretching beyond four-player co-op: "It would have undermined what Grounded was really about"

After playing The Outer Worlds 2, I'm convinced that it has the potential to be Obsidian's greatest game – and the best FPS of 2025
