The update deepens survival progression with diving systems, underwater base building, new creatures, an amphibious vehicle, a PlayStation 5 release, and tools that let players explore previously unreachable areas.
Overview
- Developers released Into the Abyss, Grounded 2’s largest content update, which opens a multi‑layered underwater zone beneath Skunk Pond for players to explore.
- New diving gear and progression systems let players stay submerged longer and reach deeper caverns and hidden points of interest.
- Players can build submerged bases and face new and returning threats, including the amphibious Toe Biter, mechanical Catch ’N Kill robots, and the Diving Bell Spider.
- The update adds the amphibious Toe Biter Buggy for land and water travel and is distributed during Early Access/Game Preview across Xbox, PC, Steam, and now PlayStation 5 with availability on Game Pass.
- The expansion is positioned to grow the Grounded community and extend live‑service longevity for the series, which Microsoft says has reached over 30 million players to date.
