About
Grounded (2022) is a first-person survival adventure that shrinks you down to ant size in a backyard filled with giant insects and environmental hazards. You'll explore, build shelters, and survive alongside hostile creatures while uncovering the mystery behind your miniaturization. The game supports multiplayer co-op, letting you tackle these perils with friends in a vibrant, interconnected backyard world.
Grounded is reasonably accessible for most gaming PCs, though performance varies based on your graphics settings. You'll need at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 2533 to meet minimum requirements, though this only guarantees lower FPS at reduced settings. For smooth 60 FPS performance at higher graphics quality, a mid-range GPU is recommended. The game scales well across different performance tiers, so you can adjust resolution and detail settings to match your hardware's capabilities.
With a 75/100 rating, Grounded delivers a solid survival experience that stands out in its genre. If you enjoy co-op adventures, base building, and exploration, it's definitely worth checking out.
Performance profile
Released in September 2022, Grounded targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.
Grounded is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Grounded; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
Storyline
In Grounded, players are shrunken to the size of an ant and tasked with surviving in the unique micro-world of a suburban backyard. Players must gather, craft and build bases with everyday objects found within the yard, searching for life-saving resources and living alongside giant, peaceful insects while fighting to survive massive hostile inhabitants. Grounded provides a mix of environmental and narrative driven story telling. Set in a versatile, handcrafted sandbox structure it allows players to create their own experience from the ground up. Tasks that may seem approachable when human-sized become a challenge in this dangerous backyard landscape. This familiar yet fantastical world can be navigated solo or in four-person co-operative multiplayer, where players work together to complete missions or explore the intricately detailed world.
