Grounded 2 breaks its predecessor's Steam peak record after mere hours

Grounded is an excellent survival game that is absolutely deserving of a sequel - it’s just that I, and many others, didn’t expect it to get one so soon. Bogged down already this year with Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, I was shocked when Obsidian announced Grounded 2 a couple of months back, and was even more surprised to see a July 29 early access launch date too. Well, today’s the day, and despite Grounded 2’s inclusion in Game Pass, it’s performing very well on Steam - so well, in fact, that it’s already blasted past its predecessor’s all-time player peak on Valve’s platform.
