In an exciting move to promote the upcoming launch of Grounded 2, Microsoft has announced a unique giveaway: one lucky fan can win a massive 10-foot (approximately 3-meter) red ant plush. This extraordinary plush toy is a real-world rendition of the Red Ant Buggy from Grounded 2, a game which introduces a new `Buggy` system allowing players to ride various insects to navigate its treacherous world.
“That`s right. We transformed the in-game Red Ant Buggy into a real-world, mountable, ultra-soft, and utterly wild gaming plush,” Xbox declared. “It`s part furniture, part Buggy, and entirely awesome.”
To enter for a chance to win this colossal plush, participants need to follow Xbox on the X platform and re-share their promotional post. Alternatively, fans can follow Xbox on Instagram and leave a comment on the designated post using the hashtag #Grounded2Sweepstakes.
The sweepstakes is currently active and will conclude on August 31. Microsoft has estimated the value of this impressive 10-foot red ant plush at $500.
Furthermore, Microsoft confirmed that this gigantic insect plush will be on display next month at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, offering attendees a chance to see it up close.
Grounded 2 is slated for release on July 29, launching in Game Preview for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC. It will also be available in early access on Steam and included with Game Pass Ultimate. While the original Grounded made its way to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, there have been no announcements regarding Grounded 2`s availability on Switch 2 or PS5 platforms as of yet.
