Why Grounded 2’s early access launch had to feel like a 'complete' game

Grounded 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular survival game, has launched in early access. The game is a collaborative effort between Obsidian Entertainment and Eidos Montreal, two renowned gaming studios. The decision to launch Grounded 2 in early access was a strategic one, as the developers wanted to ensure the game felt "complete" from the start.
