It’s currently in early access and features the initial locations alongside different weapons and game modes. Check out the launch trailer below.

The campaign involves surviving on Teardrop Island, though there’s some metanarrative about the player being a “gamer” during all this. Featuring a mix of PvP and PvE, you can gather and extract gear, which unlocks abilities and cybernetics, including changing limbs, for use in battle.

Though initially promised to feature 150 players, the PC early access page specifies up to 60. Extraction Royale, or XR, appears to be the main mode for now. A roadmap for upcoming content and how long the title will be in early access has yet to be revealed. Stay tuned for more details and updates in the coming months and years.

During Gamescom 2023, developer Gunzilla Games revealed its gameplay for the first time. Check it out below, courtesy of IGN.

Off the Grid is set on Teardrop Island, and the future is distinctly cyberpunk. Though it’s a battle royale title with support for up to 150 players, it also offers a 60-hour campaign. You have different weapons and cybernetic augmentations, from a grapple to legs for faster sprinting. You can also ride vehicles and mow down other players with its turret.

In a press release, Gunzilla Games CEO Vlad Korolov said, “Off The Grid is evolving the battle royale genre for the industry. With the creative brilliance of Neill Blomkamp and the introduction of innovative gameplay mechanics, we’re offering unprecedented depth that complements the sheer thrill of battle royale competition.”

As you extract loot and unlock new abilities, the story gradually opens up (though in what way remains to be seen). Off the Grid doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s coming “soon” to Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC in 2023. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Neill Blomkamp of District 9 fame serves as the chief visionary officer for the title, which takes place on the tropical Teardrop Island. A covert corporate war is occurring, and you can choose different factions to engage in matches with up to 150 other players in PvEvP combat.

However, a 60-hour narrative campaign also unfolds as one can dive into story missions or partake in a straight-up battle royale, extracting loot and unlocking abilities to improve your character. Off The Grid doesn’t have a release date, but it’s planned for launch in 2023 on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
