Gunzilla Games, the team behind the breakout battle royale Off The Grid (OTG), just added another heavyweight to its list of investors: Coinbase Ventures. This follows last month’s strategic funding round led by VanEck, marking a major milestone in Gunzilla’s push to dominate web3 gaming.
Gearing Up for Big Things
“Gunzilla is thrilled to welcome Coinbase Ventures, as an investor and valued partner. We appreciate their long-term vision and leadership in web3, and we are excited for many years of collaboration with Off The Grid and GUNZ,” said Gunzilla.
The GUNZ Chain is Gunzilla’s custom blockchain built to power OTG, giving players ownership of in-game assets. Coinbase Ventures’ backing bolsters these ambitions, supporting their plan to bring Off The Grid to a massive audience.
Expanding the World of Off The Grid
Gunzilla’s ambitions don’t stop at blockchain innovations. The team plans to make OTG accessible to as many players as possible. Next week, they’ll roll out the game across iOS, Android, Mac, older PCs, and even smart TVs, thanks to a partnership with NVIDIA GeForce NOW’s cloud gaming platform. This expansion is a key step in Gunzilla’s strategy to attract “hundreds of millions of users” to the OTG ecosystem.
Xbox players, too, have a treat in store. OTG will soon join the Xbox Preview program. This brings the game to Xbox Series X/S users alongside exclusive perks like the Off The Grid PRO subscription and the “Save Democracy” content pack.
Off The Grid is Winning the Spotlight
Off The Grid has quickly become a force in web3 gaming. It combines third-person shooter gameplay with blockchain-backed ownership. The game’s narrative is led by District 9 director Neill Blomkamp, which adds a cinematic flair to the fast-paced action. In this dystopian world, players sacrifice their natural limbs for bionic upgrades, battling in a deadly game show for wealth and fame.
Players can jump into the action solo or squad up in teams of three to survive Extraction Royale matches. Along the way, they collect loot, extract rare HEX items, and earn GUN tokens, the game’s currency.
A Record-Breaking Event
Gunzilla recently proved Off The Grid’s massive appeal with its first-ever ALL-STARS Invitational. Held on November 20th, the event brought together 60 top gaming influencers and pros—with big names like Shroud, xQc, and ImperialHal—to compete for a jaw-dropping $600,000 prize pool. With over 140,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch, OTG skyrocketed to become one of the most-watched games during the event.
How to Jump Into Off The Grid and Win Big
Getting started with Off The Grid is simple. The game is free to play and available for PC, Xbox, and PS5. Players can download it from the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, or Xbox official pages. Once installed, no extra steps like wallet creation are needed. Just load up the game and dive into the action.
In Off The Grid, you can play solo or team up with friends for more strategic gameplay. Matches pit 10 teams of three against each other in the Extraction Royale mode. Players airdrop into a massive map with distinct zones and scavenging opportunities. Everyone starts with basic gear, but the real thrill comes from finding loot chests with weapons, ammo, consumables, and bionic upgrades. Look out for HEX items—rare loot that can be extracted and added to your permanent inventory.
The fun doesn’t stop there. Off The Grid allows players to customize their characters and loadouts with skins, weapons, and enhancements. Players can also deploy jetpacks, use zip lines for quick mobility, and equip cybernetic limbs for unique abilities.
Win Real Rewards in Clash for Cash
Gunzilla has also upped the stakes with its first play to earn event: Clash for Cash. This leaderboard-driven tournament is free for all and features a daily prize pool of $3,000 USD. Top performers earn rewards based on their match placements, kills, assists, and HEX extractions. The first-place player each day takes home $1,000, with payouts scaling down to $50 for the 9th and 10th spots.
The event is already live, with no announced end date, and prizes are awarded daily at 20:00 UTC. To join, simply log in and compete—your performance across matches determines your spot on the leaderboard. Players can track their progress and claim their winnings through the official Clash for Cash event page.
All in all, Gunzilla’s partnership with Coinbase Ventures marks another step in its efforts to expand Off The Grid and the GUNZ network. With the game moving on to more platforms, the studio continues to gain attention in both gaming and web3 spaces.
