Rather than the monthly micro-updates that were the norm when Grounded launched, the developer has decided that something more like every four to five months will be the norm.In an interview with GamesRadar, Grounded 2 game director Chris Parker laid out the studio’s thinking.”When we started with Grounded 1 in early access, we were trying to do almost monthly updates.
