You no longer need to link a Microsoft and Steam account to play Grounded's multiplayer on Valve's platform. If you've already linked these accounts to play the game, you can now delink them and choose to just play with others on Steam instead. While features like crossplay still require both accounts to be linked, Microsoft's decision to give players the choice comes in stark contrast to PlayStation's Steam strategy. This comes as games like Helldivers 2 and God of War Ragnarok have come under fire this year for their PSN links, with only the former removing the requirement.
