Ever wondered what it would be like to experience backyard survival when you find yourself shrunk down to the size of an ant? Now available on the PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S – Obsidian Entertainment’s ‘Grounded‘ has now received a full 1.0 release.
Marking this release, the Xbox team have collaborated with entomologist Dr Bryan Lessard to create a survival guide on what you’ll need to do to make it in your own backyard. The guide, developed by Dr Lessard, is available below, and breaks down how you can get your defences sorted, find food, and protect yourself against the claws, stingers and fangs that are much more deadly than ever before.

Dr Lessard says Aussies and Kiwis are lucky enough to be in some of the safest places to suddenly find yourself miniature, with both countries being a part of biodiversity hotspots, meaning they’re full of tools and treasures to help you get by. In need of some grub? Look no further than the witjuty grub itself, which you wash down with a gin ant tonic infused with zesty lime green tree ants.
Grounded is now available on the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and the PC via the Windows 10/11 Store, Steam and Xbox Game Pass at a price of $39.99 USD or local equivalent. The game was first made available via Early Access in July 2020, with this marking the game’s full release.
