- Patch 0.5.0.5 Has Been Released - 2 September 2026
Thank you so much for your reports on the Into the Abyss update for Grounded 2. The team has been closely monitoring player feedback for the update and noticed two major things being discussed. First, the Creature Aggression and Aggro Range of certain creatures were too high, causing creature encounters and combat to turn into a giant, never-ending fight or chase. This was especially common with the Mosquitoes. The other big piece of feedback was that the O.G.R.R. Toe Biter Leviathan encounter was too difficult. The team has made some changes based on this feedback, and we hope the game feels more balanced and, more importantly, fun for you. If you are encountering any issues or would like to report additional information, please let us know and we're happy to help. As always, thank you for helping us make Grounded 2 a better experience. Creature Aggression: This is only our first step…
