Playgrounds Mode has been updated and includes a brand-new starting map and Buggy Racing! The 0.4.1 Public Beta also includes big changes for Steam Deck Support, along with a much-needed fix for our PVP Community! Huzzah!
Grounded 2 Executable Swap:
We have officially changed our exe version, from WinGRTS → Win64.
As of this update, Steam Deck Users can now link a Microsoft account and play online with their friends/use crossplay functionality.
Note:
With this executable change, all player settings will be reset as a result of this change. This is a one-time reset and we plan on saving your settings in the future permanently.

New Playground Starting Map - Lakeside Loop
New Racing Mode for Playgrounds that allows players to build their own racetracks:
1-4 Players can race each other on buggies in either point-to-point or lap races
New Playground objects to allow players to make their own racetracks

Race Waypoint - A basic checkpoint illuminated by a short column of light
