Blockchain game Off the Grid topped the free-to-play section of the Epic Games Store

"Off the Grid," a blockchain-based battle royale game, has reached a significant milestone by topping the free-to-play section of the Epic Games Store.
The game has quickly gained popularity for combining innovative blockchain technology with high-paced, immersive gameplay, appealing to both traditional gamers and crypto enthusiasts alike.
Developed by Gunzilla Games, "Off the Grid" distinguishes itself from other battle royale shooters by incorporating blockchain-based assets that allow players to own, trade, and monetize in-game items. This integration has helped the game stand out in the competitive gaming landscape. The game’s success on the Epic Games Store has been attributed to its smooth mechanics, expansive virtual world, and seamless blockchain incorporation, which enhances the overall user experience.
The game was built on the Avalanche blockchain, which enables decentralized asset ownership and trading. Players can customize their characters and gear, and trade these items in a player-driven economy. This dynamic has been a key draw, allowing users to monetize their in-game achievements, adding an extra layer of engagement. Additionally, the blockchain's scalability and efficiency have made it possible to support a large number of players while maintaining low transaction costs.
According to TU Crypto News, GUN tokens are used in the game for purchasing and trading items represented as NFTs.
"Off the Grid" has sparked significant interest within the gaming and blockchain communities, and its rise to the top of the Epic Games Store charts indicates a growing trend of blockchain games moving into mainstream gaming platforms. The success of this title could signal an increased adoption of blockchain in gaming, opening doors for other decentralized titles in the future.
