Grounded crossplay

Grounded is a fun survival title, and it becomes even more enjoyable when playing with friends, but can your buddies join you across platforms? Here’s everything you need to know about Grounded’s cross-platform status.

Obsidian Entertainment’s Grounded is a survival game that throws you into the role of a protagonist who has been shrunk down to the size of an ant and must try to survive while exploring the vast world of a backyard.

Since the game is multiplayer, you can have your buddies join you as you make your way across the backyard and battle enemies. This may also lead you to wonder if Grounded allows you to join players across platforms.

So, here’s everything about Grounded’s crossplay status on PC and Xbox consoles.

Is Grounded crossplay?

Yes, Grounded features full cross-platform support between PC and Xbox. So, you can play with your buddies across both platforms through the Microsoft Store and Xbox consoles. However, if you purchased the game on Steam, then things are a little different.

When playing the game through Steam, you will have to use the Xbox companion app in order to play with your friends on Xbox consoles. So, you can easily have your closest buddies join you for a game when playing Grounded.

Does Grounded have cross-progression?

Yes, Grounded has a cross-progression feature that carries your progress when you switch from Xbox to PC or vice versa. You can choose to play the game on your Xbox console one day and pick it up from where you left off on PC the next day.

You’ll just need to ensure that your Xbox Live account is being used on both platforms. When playing Grounded with your friends through crossplay, the host will have to save the progress of the entire team.

That covers everything that you need to know about Grounded’s crossplay status.
