Off The Grid

What is Off The Grid?

Off The Grid is a free-to-play, third-person battle royale developed and published by Gunzilla Games and built in Unreal Engine 5. It is set in a near-future cyberpunk dystopia on the fictional Teardrop Island, where three megacorporations have carved up the territory and contestants fitted with cybernetic prosthetics compete in a televised bloodsport. Neill Blomkamp serves as the studio's chief visionary officer and Richard K. Morgan wrote the script, and the game leans harder on narrative and story progression than most titles in its genre. It entered early access in 2024 and is playable on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

How to play Off The Grid

The core loop combines battle royale elimination with extraction mechanics: outlasting the lobby is only half the objective, and getting high-value loot off the island before the match ends is the other. Gear, weapons and cybernetic augments can be looted from the map and from other players, and what you successfully extract carries forward instead of disappearing at the end of the round. The listing's PvP classification matches how the game is structured — matches are player-versus-player, with the narrative layer delivered around and between them. The game is free to download, and Gunzilla has stated it is fully playable without any crypto involvement.

Off The Grid tokenomics & earning

Off The Grid runs alongside GUNZ, Gunzilla's own EVM-compatible chain built as an Avalanche subnet, which is why the blockchain field on this listing reads "Other" rather than a mainstream network. GUN is that network's native gas token, launched in 2025 with a total supply of 10 billion. Items earned in game can be converted into tradable NFTs and sold on the in-game marketplace, but the studio has been explicit that Off The Grid is not an NFT game and that the blockchain features sit beside the shooter rather than gate it. Anyone weighing the earning side should confirm current token, fee and marketplace details on the official site before committing money.

Blockchain is listed only as "Other" — the actual network isn't specified
No published detail on costs, token mechanics, or earning potential

Slower, more deliberate pace than action-driven titles won't suit everyone
Progress is tied to long-term community management rather than individual matches, so rewards accrue slowly
