Xbox is marking the highly anticipated launch of Grounded 2 with an extraordinary giveaway, offering fans the opportunity to win a colossal 10-foot red ant gaming plush. This survival action-adventure game has captured the attention of players worldwide, with its early access release scheduled for July 29. Time is of the essence, as one fortunate winner will enjoy Grounded 2 in unparalleled style.

Revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase in June, Grounded 2 builds upon the foundation of its predecessor while introducing fresh character archetypes, expanded building tools, and a cooperative mode. Players will once again find themselves miniaturized, navigating the perilous environment of Brookhollow Park. Multiple editions of Grounded 2 will be available at launch, including the premium $39.99 Minotaurs, Myrmidons, and Mants: Oh My! Founder's Edition, packed with exclusive skins, a digital artbook, the game's soundtrack, and more. Now, enthusiasts can showcase their passion for this unique title in an entirely new way while transforming their living space.

As detailed on the Xbox website, fans can enter the giveaway for a chance to win the massive 10-foot red ant plush, celebrating Grounded 2's release. Among the game's new features is the ability to ride certain insects, such as the Red Ant Buggy. To participate, fans must follow the official Xbox account on Twitter and repost the sweepstakes announcement with the hashtag #Grounded2Sweepstakes. The promotion concludes on August 31, so interested participants should act swiftly. Additionally, the plush will be on display at the Xbox FanFest event during Gamescom on August 20.

In a recent interview, game director and Obsidian Entertainment co-founder Chris Parker provided insights into Grounded 2's narrative and post-launch plans. Set two years after the original, the sequel retains the same four protagonists but offers a more story-driven experience and a significantly expanded map. Unlike its predecessor, which received frequent updates during early access, Grounded 2 will follow a more relaxed update schedule, with major content releases every four to five months.

While Grounded 2 is initially launching on PC and Xbox Series X/S, there is speculation that a PS5 version may follow. The first game eventually made its way to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation, leading many to anticipate a similar trajectory for the sequel.
