What you need to know
- Grounded is an open-world survival sandbox from Obsidian Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios.
- The early access title recently released the 0.11 'Hot and Hazy Update,' the most ambitious update for the game yet.
- Now, Obsidian is releasing the 0.11.2 patch update to all Grounded players with a mountain of bug fixes and improvements.
- This includes letting bees sleep through the night, letting thistle plants spawn again, stopping ants from laying so many eggs, and other humorous tweaks.
Obsidian Entertainment has been building something special with Grounded, its open-world survival game that shrinks all players down to the size of insects and traps them in a suddenly-dangerous suburban backyard. The recently released Hot and Hazy Update added a colossal amount of content to Grounded's early access, and now Obisidan is returning with a brand-new patch update.
Grounded 0.11.2 is now releasing to all players with a plethora of bug fixes, including some mildly humorous fixes like letting bees sleep through the night (hopefully, the fuzzy friends can get some rest, now). There's also plenty of crash fixes included in this patch update, so players should install it as soon as possible.
Grounded is quickly shaping up as one of the best Xbox games around, and it's not even fully released yet. Grounded's early access is now available for Xbox and PC, with Obsidian releasing regular updates to inject fresh content and fix existing bugs.
The full changelog for Grounded's 0.11.2 patch update includes:
Changes
- Audio added to falling shovel, icebox, and the biometric scanner
