Grounded 2 Playgrounds PTB Patch 0.3.1 Notes (4th March 2026)

Obsidian pushed Playgrounds PTB Patch 0.3.1 for Grounded 2 yesterday, and while it's a focused update rather than a sweeping overhaul, there's enough here to keep Playgrounds builders happy.

The headliner is AXL, who can now be summoned inside the Park within Playgrounds. New Grounded 2 props have also been added to the creation toolkit, and Obsidian has confirmed more will keep arriving with each update as development continues. On the tools side, Trigger Volume and Hazard Volume both gained access to the scale axis, which gives builders more control over how those elements behave in their creations.

Bug fixes clean up a few rough edges: black holograms are gone, several crash scenarios have been addressed, and controller users should no longer hit inconsistencies when linking objects together. Small fixes, but the kind that make a creative mode actually usable. Full patch notes below.
