About Off the Grid

Off the Grid poster

Off the Grid is an Extraction Royale that fuses PvP and PvE into a single survival scramble across Teardrop Island, a place that once held promise but has since decayed into a dystopian warzone. Directed by filmmaker Neill Blomkamp of District 9 and Elysium fame, this cyberpunk shooter pitches itself as the next evolution of the genre, the product of three global gaming companies joining forces.

Your objective boils down to three words: survive, loot, and dominate. You'll gear up with custom cyberlimbs and hundreds of possible weapon combinations, modifying both your body and your arsenal mid-fight to gain the edge. Whether you're grinding through a high-stakes battle royale or piecing together the fractured history of Teardrop Island, every decision carries weight and could end your run just as easily as it could carry you to victory.

The game blends fast, action-heavy FPS combat with an MMO-style persistent world, encouraging you to extract high-value loot, outmaneuver rivals, and steadily transform into the last one standing. New locations, weapons, and cybernetic limbs continue to expand the experience on PC, keeping the mayhem of the Island fresh for players ready to answer its call.
