Xbox Game Studios has made Grounded 2 available on both Game Pass and Steam for PC players under the early access program. The game is built on Unreal Engine 5, which substantially boosted the visual fidelity of the game’s world. However, the visuals came at the cost of performance.

Many players are taking to Reddit and X to post about performance issues they are facing. The game’s default settings are the culprit behind its bad performance. Using our optimized settings can elevate the performance to 60 FPS or higher.

In this article, we are sharing all the best settings for Grounded 2 to help your PC achieve the best performance.

Note: The settings provided below are based on the game’s minimum system specs and shouldn’t be used for resolutions higher than 3840 x 2160.

Ground 2 is out of early access, so the graphic settings are not fully developed. Therefore, there’s a limitation on how many optimizations we can do. Even with the limitations, we managed to achieve a great performance uplift over the default settings.

We have developed two types of optimized settings. The first will deliver a decently high performance with good visuals, but the latter will run the game at even higher FPS, but at the cost of image quality. You can try both sets of settings and find which works better for you.
