Obsidian is returning to the backyard with Grounded 2, a sequel that expands on the survival, crafting, and co-op gameplay of the original. With more exploration, new biomes, and deeper building mechanics, the game is already buzzing among fans of the first title. Fortunately, cloud gamers won’t be left out, as Grounded 2 is available across several streaming platforms, making it accessible on everything from phones and tablets to handheld PCs and smart TVs. Here’s a breakdown of where you’ll be able to play it via the cloud!
Xbox Cloud Gaming (Game Pass Ultimate)
If you’re subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’re good to go. Grounded 2 is available through the Xbox Cloud Gaming service on day one. That means you can stream it directly via:
- Web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari)
- Android phones and tablets
- Xbox consoles
- Smart TVs (via Xbox app or browser)
- Handhelds like Logitech G Cloud and ROG Ally
Requirements:
- Game Pass Ultimate subscription
Shadow PC
Shadow PC is a full cloud-based Windows desktop. Once subscribed, you can install any game launcher (Steam, Battle.net, Epic Games) and play Grounded 2 as if you were on a local gaming PC.
This is ideal if:
- You already own the game
- You want full modding or system-level control
- You use other launchers or tools
Shadow supports 1080p by default, with optional upgrades for 4K streaming and more powerful GPUs.
AirGPU
AirGPU is a “pay-as-you-go” cloud PC rental service. It gives you a virtual machine with GPU acceleration, perfect for installing any version of Grounded 2. You pay only for the hours you use, starting at around $0.75/hour.
It works best when:
- You want occasional sessions
- You want to install mods
- You don’t want a monthly subscription
Setup is more manual compared to plug-and-play services like Xbox Cloud, but it offers complete freedom over your gaming environment.
Highscore
Highscore is a newer player in the cloud PC space, designed specifically for gaming. Like Shadow and AirGPU, you get full Windows access and can install the game through your platform of choice. With a focus on reduced latency and full controller compatibility, it’s shaping up to be another strong option for cloud gamers.
Just released, Grounded 2 is one of the most accessible survival games on the market, with full cloud support across major services. No downloads, no high-end hardware required. Just pick your platform and dive into the adventure. Here at Cloud Dosage, we will continue tracking updates, feature rollouts, and platform compatibility as support expands.
