Grounded-CPY

Grounded outside of its gameplay and genre is its exclusivity. This will be the first Xbox exclusive (at least based on the modern idea of that term) Obsidian title that the studio has developed since being acquired by Microsoft, and it will be available via Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, the Microsoft Store, Steam (which has a partnership with Microsoft), and it will even be the first title available on Game Pass’ Game Preview system. This seems to indicate that the Obsidian/Xbox relationship begins in full with this title, but that doesn’t mean that all of Obsidian’s future titles will be exclusive to the various Xbox platforms.

Grounded is that Obsidian has kept its team size to around a dozen people. This has allowed the studio to experiment wildly with the game. Obsidian plans to keep the team size small so they can continue to experiment with the design over the early access period. Overall, this means that the Grounded team should be incredibly nimble and be able to quickly respond to player feedback as they implement new ideas.
