Off The Grid Steam launch

Off The Grid Steam launch set for June 2025 with full cross-play support

Adnan Al-Jaziri

Off The Grid Steam launch is officially scheduled for June 2025, marking another major milestone for Gunzilla Games.

This follows the game’s release on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. Now, PC players who prefer Steam will be able to join in.

One of the biggest features is full cross-play support. This means players across console and PC platforms can squad up and compete together. It’s a move that should help increase the player base and deliver more dynamic, fast-paced extraction shooter sessions. Off The Grid aims to compete in a saturated genre, but this unified gameplay experience sets it apart.

While excitement around the Off The Grid Steam launch grows, one important feature seems to be absent. The blockchain integration — heavily advertised during earlier marketing — isn’t mentioned anywhere on Steam’s version. In fact, Valve’s policy strictly bans games with blockchain elements, suggesting this Steam build is a “web2-only” version of the game.

Cross-play shooter lands without blockchain features

Players familiar with Gunzilla’s Avalanche-based Gunz blockchain may find the Steam version limited. In the blockchain version, players can equip NFT-based cybernetic limbs, weapons, and skins. These NFTs are part of a play-to-own system, where items can be traded or upgraded.

On Steam, the description mentions only “15+ limbs” for looting and loadouts — a stripped-down experience compared to the full Web3 version. This limitation may disappoint players expecting full integration across all platforms.

Still, the release expands the game’s reach. It opens doors to players who prefer traditional gaming environments and aren’t interested in crypto features.

ANOTHER MUST-WATCH ON ICN.LIVE:


Off The Grid Steam launch fuels mainstream interest

Gunzilla Games continues to push blockchain gaming forward with a gradual migration from testnet to mainnet. The GUN token officially launched on 31st March 2025. Players can now trade NFTs on-chain, with some rare items already selling for over $1,000.

However, the Steam release is a strategic step into mainstream waters. While it excludes NFTs and tokens, it introduces the gameplay to millions of PC gamers. Whether this split approach — Web2 for Steam, Web3 elsewhere — will work remains to be seen. But it could be the blueprint for other hybrid games moving forward.

Off The Grid Steam launch puts the spotlight back on Gunzilla’s vision. Even without blockchain, the core gameplay may be strong enough to pull in a dedicated fanbase.

Will Off The Grid on Steam include blockchain or NFT features?

No, the Steam version of Off The Grid will not include any blockchain integration or NFT features. This is due to Valve’s policy against blockchain-related content on the platform. The absence means players won’t be able to use GUN tokens, trade NFTs, or equip Web3-based cybernetic limbs. The Steam version is a stripped-down Web2 edition of the game, designed to comply with traditional platform requirements.

What is cross-play and how does it work in Off The Grid?

Cross-play allows players across different platforms to play together in the same matches. Off The Grid supports full cross-play between PC (via Epic and Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. This makes it easier to squad up with friends regardless of the device they’re using. The feature enhances matchmaking, increases competitiveness, and supports the game’s goal of building a large, unified community.

Can I still access the blockchain version of Off The Grid if I play on Steam?

No, the Steam version is entirely separate from the blockchain-enabled version. If you want to access the NFT and GUN token features, you’ll need to use the Epic Games version or another supported platform that allows Web3 integration. These versions offer a more immersive crypto experience, including asset ownership and trading features.

What’s the significance of the GUN token and NFT trading in Off The Grid?

The GUN token is the in-game cryptocurrency that powers the blockchain features in Off The Grid. It was launched on 31st March 2025 and supports the purchase, sale, and upgrade of NFT items in the game. These NFTs include cosmetic items, cybernetic limbs, and exclusive weapons. Some rare NFTs have already fetched prices over $1,000, making the ecosystem potentially rewarding for active players and collectors.
