Why Friend on Switch Won’t Show Up as Online in Grounded is Changing the Game
In Grounded, players on different consoles sometimes encounter the frustrating issue of friends appearing offline despite being online. This is due to a technical quirk that prevents your Switch friend’s information from being properly relayed to the game’s servers. To fix this, both players must close the game, restart it, and wait a few minutes for the friend list to update. This annoying glitch can be a major bummer when trying to connect with friends and explore the backyard together, but the developers are actively working on a solution to ensure seamless online play.
