Off The Grid Review 2026: Console Battle Royale With NFTs

Off The Grid (OTG) is a cyberpunk third-person battle royale shooter developed by Gunzilla Games. Coverage describes it as the first blockchain game launched on Xbox and PlayStation, which sets it apart from most web3 games that live on PC or mobile.

The studio is described as having over 130 veterans from companies such as EA and Ubisoft. A promoted article says it raised over $100m from backers including Republic Capital and Blizzard Fund. It also cites 500k new wallets and 2 million transactions in 24 hours, but these are promotional claims and not independently verified.

Player reactions are mixed. Some Xbox players call it a fun, casual game with potential. Others say it needs work, and one asks whether easy wins mean bots are filling matches. The game was described as being in Early Access, so the experience may keep changing.

Off The Grid is played like a conventional battle royale. Around 150 players land on a large map, collect weapons, cyberlimbs and other loot, and fight until one player or team is left. Extraction features and bounties add other ways to progress.

The blockchain layer sits underneath. Coverage describes the game as Avalanche-based and says it supports minting rare, tradable NFTs for in-game items, with a crypto token planned. In practice, an NFT is a unique on-chain record of ownership, so a player can in theory hold or trade an item outside the game.

The game is built to be played without engaging with crypto. One write-up says it deliberately avoids leaning on the crypto elements and focuses on gameplay quality instead. Exact rules for item ownership, trading and rewards are not described in the sources.

Fees are not published in the information available. This includes any game purchase price, in-game item costs, marketplace commissions and blockchain transaction fees.

Anyone planning to buy or trade items should check the store listing and any in-game marketplace for costs. They should also check what network fees apply when moving items or tokens on-chain.

No audit reports, custody details or team security disclosures were found for the blockchain components. If you connect a wallet or buy NFTs, the usual risks apply: smart-contract bugs, phishing, price swings and illiquid items. The project does not publish an audit summary that this review could verify.

The game itself is a commercial title sold on mainstream console platforms, so it follows those platforms' age ratings and store rules. Its token and NFT plans were described as upcoming, and their regulatory treatment is not stated. Check what applies where you live, and only spend money you can afford to lose.

Off The Grid is for console and PC shooter players who want a new battle royale and are open to blockchain-based items. It is less suited to anyone looking for a proven earning mechanism or a fully documented token economy.
