Play Cross-Platform Co-op With Your Friends
Grounded is a fun survival-based game that we would recommend giving a try! You can try to survive, build bases and collect and harvest materials, and much more.
Grounded is currently still in early access but will be kept updated until the full game is released.
You can make Grounded even more enjoyable by playing with friends and completing it together. However, there is currently no way to invite your friends into your game as this is in the early access stages.
But as long as you or a friend have hosted and created a game then your friends can manually join you.
This can also be done cross-platform so if you are on your Xbox and your friend is on their PC, then you can still join and play Grounded together.
****Top Tips****
– Make sure you have saved your game before your friends join you and when you quit the game
– If you are joining a game that your friend is hosting you will keep all your inventory as long as the host saves the game
– You can currently have up to four players in a multiplayer game
