Obsidian Entertainment's new production can be tested for a limited time, but only a few will be able to.
X019 was the event that uncovered the new work of Obsidian Entertainment, one of the studios recently acquired by Microsoft. Following the launch of The Outer Worlds, the team continued to work on a somewhat more experimental project. This is Grounded, a game in which we will become tiny and we must survive the dangers of the world around us. Members of the Xbox Insider program will now have an opportunity to test the title in advance.
This has been announced by Microsoft through an update to its website. Thus, those who are chosen will be able to download an exclusive demo and play from June 9 to 14 on Xbox One. As the Redmond advance, it will also be done through the Steam Game Festival in the version for the Valve platform . This demo offers players a small bite of what they will find when they are released into the wildest world: 1 day within the single player campaign.
How to play the demo
"Participation through the Xbox Insider program is the only way to play Grounded on Xbox One during this time period," so you will need to register to qualify. Once registered, on June 9 all accepted participants will have to open the Xbox Insider Hub program (on Windows 10 or Xbox One) and download the product. Microsoft warns that slots will be very limited.
However, Xbox will participate in the Steam Game Festival, another of the digital events that were born after the main face-to-face fairs were canceled. From the same June 9, players who have a Steam account will be able to play the same demo. “We are excited that you begin this journey with us and enter the game. It is important that you give us your feedback. ” According to the company, having the demo on two different platforms allows them to listen to more users.
Grounded will be released in early access on July 28 on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Steam Early Access.
