Gunzilla Games has introduced festive updates to its popular web3 battle royale game, Off The Grid (OTG), as part of its ongoing efforts to engage and entertain players during the holiday season. The latest update brings a chaotic holiday twist to the game. Gunzilla Games announced the content with a spirited social media post. The festive pack reflects the game’s unique and bold approach to thematic content, adding new layers of humor and excitement to its gameplay.

What is Off The Grid?

Off The Grid is a high-end, third-person battle royale shooter that offers players both a fast-paced multiplayer experience and a 60-hour single-player campaign. The game incorporates blockchain technology through swappable cybernetic limbs and customizable weapons, all tradable as NFTs. These in-game assets can be exchanged using the GUN token through a dedicated mobile wallet.

Gunzilla Games has invested over four years and $100 million into developing the title, which has set new standards for innovation in the web3 gaming space. CEO Vlad Korolov described the vision behind the project: “With the launch of Off The Grid and GUNZ to the public, we are not just advancing towards a new horizon in AAA gaming but also establishing a new standard in the blockchain space.”

Performance and Player Reception

The integration of Avalanche’s Layer 1 blockchain network has proven highly effective. According to Coop, Head of Gaming at Ava Labs, Off The Grid processed millions of blockchain transactions last month alone. Emin Gün Sirer, CEO of Ava Labs, commended this achievement, stating: “Others post announcements of announcements... while Avalanche enables top-notch people with incredibly demanding use cases to launch high-quality products that just work.”

The game’s early access debut on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X via the Insider program also generated significant excitement. Within days, Off The Grid became one of the top 3 most-streamed games globally on Twitch, with millions of hours of gameplay viewed. It also claimed the top spot as the #1 free-to-download game on the Epic Games Store.
