Grounded 2 Playgrounds mode is officially live today [New Update]

Brookhollow Park is no longer just about surviving—it’s your personal sandbox

Key Takeaways: The Quick Answer

  • Playgrounds Mode is officially live for all Grounded 2 players on PC and Xbox.
  • Tools include trigger volumes, creature spawners, and the returning Handy Gnat.
  • Players can build, share, and vote on custom maps across Brookhollow Park and The Grassbox.

A Sandbox Without Limits

Obsidian finally rolled out Playgrounds Mode to the public servers. This isn’t just a minor patch. It fundamentally changes how we play Grounded 2.

Brookhollow Park transforms from a brutal survival map into a massive blank canvas. You get a full suite of logic-driven tools to craft whatever you want.

Want to build an intense boss arena or a trap-filled puzzle gauntlet? The tools are right there in the menus.


How the Logic Tools Work

You don’t need a degree in game design to figure this out. The system relies on simple cause-and-effect mechanics.

Drop a Trigger Volume to create an invisible detection zone. Link that to a Random Chance tool and wire it to a few Creature Spawners. Suddenly, you have a functional, replayable RPG encounter.

Every time someone walks into that zone, the game rolls the dice. It keeps your friends guessing and forces everyone to adapt on the fly.

Maps, Gadgets, and the Handy Gnat

Right out of the gate, you get access to two distinct maps. The classic Grassbox makes its glorious return from the first game, while Brookhollow Park offers the fresh Grounded 2 aesthetic.

Building massive structures is much easier this time around. The Handy Gnat returns with new features specifically designed to help you reach high or awkward angles.

You also get access to every building material, creature variant, and weapon currently in the game. Obsidian even threw in some new toys—like the mysterious O.R.C. Transmission Device.


What Comes Next

Once you finish your masterpiece, the community hub lets you upload and share it globally. You can download custom modes, vote on your favorites, and get demolished by other players’ brutal creations.

Grounded 2 is currently in Early Access. If you refuse to pay premium retail prices, you can grab it right now via your standard Xbox Game Pass subscription.

We also have the massive spring update looming. Mark your calendars for March 28—the developers are hitting PAX East to reveal the Black Ant Hill zone and whatever else is dropping next.
