Grounded: How to play the back garden co-operative survival game and is it cross-play?

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

If you've ever wanted to play your own version of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, then look no further than Grounded. This survival game sees your character shrunk down to smaller than an ant and left to fend for themselves in the great wilderness that is the backyard.

Collect pebbles and plant fibres to make weapons, like an axe to chop down towering blades of grass or a sword and shield to defend yourself when creepy crawlies attack.

Speaking of, walk among worker ants and ladybugs as you build a base or venture out to fight termites, beetles and the most terrifying spiders.

But arachnophobes fear not, for the devs of Grounded want you to play too. The creators of the game have included a special arachnophobia mode that has five settings to scale down the big, eight-legged beasts from terrifying creatures to nothing more than a blob with red eyes.
