Obsidian Entertainment developed the survival title, with Xbox Game Studios as publisher. Players shrink to ant size and must scavenge food, build bases, and fight insects across a suburban backyard. The crafting loop draws comparisons to <a href=\"https:\/\/icon-era.com\/blog\/minecraft-live-player-count-and-statistics.168\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Minecraft<\/a>, while the hunger and thirst systems echo mechanics found in <a href=\"https:\/\/icon-era.com\/blog\/rust-player-count-and-statistics-2025.465\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Rust<\/a>. Modes include single-player, online co-op for up to four players, and a story-driven main quest. Cross-play uses Xbox Live to link Steam and Xbox sessions. Progression comes from gathering insect parts, unlocking armor sets, weapon tiers, and new biomes.<\/p>\n\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gr-faq\">\n<details>\n<summary>What is the current Grounded player count?<\/summary>\n<p>Grounded has around 2,756 concurrent Steam players as of June 2026, with a 24-hour peak of 6,091.
