Xbox Hit Grounded Joins PlayStation Plus June Lineup

The survival title Grounded, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios, is scheduled to be added to the PlayStation Plus subscription service in June 2026.

The arrival of Grounded on a Sony-operated platform marks a significant cross-platform development, as the title is a first-party production from Xbox Game Studios. The game is now becoming available to a broader audience through the PlayStation Plus library, expanding its reach beyond the Xbox and PC ecosystems.

Grounded is a cooperative survival game that places players in a miniaturized state. Participants are shrunk to the size of insects and must navigate and survive in a suburban backyard, which becomes a vast and dangerous wilderness from their perspective.

The gameplay focuses on resource gathering, base building, and combat against various insect species. Players must manage hunger and thirst while uncovering the mystery behind their miniaturization.

This release follows a broader strategic shift by Microsoft to bring select Xbox Game Studios titles to competing hardware and subscription services. By decoupling certain first-party titles from platform exclusivity, the publisher is targeting increased player bases and higher revenue for individual software titles.

The integration of Grounded into PlayStation Plus allows subscribers to access the title as part of their monthly membership, continuing the trend of high-profile multi-platform availability for previously exclusive content.
