Does Grounded 2 have cross-progression?

Partially. Grounded 2 allows players that possess both a Microsoft Store and an Xbox Series X/S version of the game to bring their progress with them on both platforms. This is however not possible for Steam users, even after linking their Microsoft account to the game.

Is there crossplay between Steam and Xbox in Grounded 2?

Yes, crossplay is available for every platform on which the game is available by simply linking a Microsoft account to the game and adding friends in-game. The same can't be said for cross-progression, which is only available between the Xbox and the Microsoft Store versions of the game.
