Update, July 28, 2020 (4 pm CT)—Grounded tops the charts on Steam, continues rise on Twitch
While Grounded continues to rise in views on Twitch, maintaining a strong second position, it is dominating the sales charts on Steam, taking the first spot on the best-selling chart. Steam being the largest single platform for purchasing games, it's not that much of a stretch to call Grounded the current best-seller in the world, which is incredible given Grounded's early access and relatively modest ambitions.
Grounded appears to be making the most of its debut into Early Access and Game Preview, and is busy hoarding views on Twitch and other streaming platforms. Despite only being out for a few hours now, Grounded has already surpassed heavy hitters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and even Minecraft for concurrent views, which is a seriously impressive feat for a game developed by a small team at Obsidian Entertainment.
If Grounded continues to grow in views, it could very well surpass the top categories on all of Twitch, including Fortnite (the long time champion). It'll be interesting to see if Grounded can keep this momentum up as it continues on to release. If you're interested, you can check out Grounded starting right now, as part of the Xbox Game Preview program. It's even included in Xbox Game Pass!
