The reveal of Obsidian's Grounded came as a shock to fans of the studio's classic survival games has a long way to go yet, but the early response is promising.
Grounded has been perched atop the Steam numbers for Sea of Thieves, and it doesn't even count the players who've jumped in through the Windows Store or Game .
Twitch fans have also been extremely interested, and Grounded has hovered above 200,00 viewers since launch. That number is anchored by a handful of big-name streamers, including Lirik, xQc, and Markiplier, but it's an impressive day one number, regardless.
If you've missed it so far, you can get a look at Grounded in the trailer below.
Obsidian has plenty of other projects in the works, too, including brand-new RPG called Avowed. It looks like the experiment of Grounded is going to pay off, however.
