Grounded continues to evolve and grow over time, most recently with the massive Hot and Hazy Update. Obsidian Entertainment is constantly working to polish Grounded's early access, leading to Tuesday's release of Grounded's 0.11.5 patch update.
The latest Grounded patch update focuses on memory leaks and crashes, and looks to stabilize the game overall. Of course, there's also the very important change that makes it so players will no longer get thirsty when eating jerky. The 0.11.5 update should be rolling out throughout today across all platforms Grounded is available.
Grounded may not be fully released yet, but it's already one of the best Xbox games for fans of survival games and zany humor.
The full changelog for Grounded patch update 0.11.5 includes:
