A shooter built around changing your options

Off The Grid has a pretty simple hook: your body is part of your loadout.

Sure, guns matter, but the cyberlimbs are where things get interesting. Swap a limb and suddenly you might move differently, fight differently, or escape a bad situation before someone turns you into loot. This is based on the documented version of the game checked on September 21, 2026. It is not a hands-on review, so we have not personally tested performance, matchmaking, gunplay, or how progression feels without spending money.

So, what is Off The Grid?

Gunzilla Games describes it as a free-to-play cyberpunk battle royale. The official FAQ says Early Access is fully playable, with the full release planned for October 2026. It is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and the Steam version is free to play. The important part is that it is still in Early Access, so expect things to change. In other words, do not get emotionally attached to every balance decision just yet.

Cyberlimbs are the real hook

The official site says players can find cyberlimbs in crates or take them from defeated enemies. Weapons can also be customized, and Steam highlights jetpack movement and equipment extraction. That gives fights a nice twist. You are not just asking, "Which gun is better?" You are also asking, "Do I want better mobility, a different ability, or should I just leave before somebody steals everything I found?" That risk-versus-reward loop could be one of the game's strongest ideas.

Then there is the crypto stuff

Off The Grid also connects to Gunzilla's GUNZ blockchain network, but the official FAQ says NFT participation is optional. That is probably good news for anyone who just wants to shoot people without opening a crypto spreadsheet first. There is an in-game marketplace for earned or extracted items, which gives loot a purpose beyond a single match. However, we have not verified marketplace liquidity, resale value, or whether spending money affects competitive balance. So no, this is not a "play three matches and retire early" situation.

Is it worth watching?

Definitely, especially if you like competitive shooters, extraction mechanics, and messing around with different builds. The cyberlimb system gives Off The Grid more personality than simply being another battle royale with neon lights. The big question is execution. Cool movement and deep customization sound great, but performance, balance, matchmaking, and progression will decide whether players actually stick around. For now, Off The Grid looks like an interesting shooter with some genuinely different ideas.

Whether those ideas turn into something great, or just very expensive-looking chaos, will depend on the full release.
