Gunzilla’s  AVAX-Based Web3 Game ‘Off the Grid’ Tops Epic Games Online Store

Web3 games have again made an impact in the market by being one of the top market favorites. Right now, Gunzilla’s AVAX-BASED Web3 game, “Off the Grid,” is ranked number one in the Epic Games online store.

The game has garnered attention from many in the industry and is subjected to a lot of traction at the moment.

What is Off The Grid?

Off the Grid, an avalanche-based game was recently introduced to the market and is played in limited quantities on PC through the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

The game, a battle royale shooter, is developed by Gunzilla Games, which has its own Avalanche L1 (also known as subnet) dubbed GUNZ. It immerses players in a reality show-like setting where they must battle it out to survive in massively multiplayer online engagements.

In addition to eventually launching its GUN token and allowing players to mint things as marketable NFTs, the game allows players to equip robotic limbs and change them out during matches to obtain new skills.

The game has garnered some attention on Twitch thanks to a collaboration with Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. The game was co-created by Neil Blomkamp, the sci-fi film director behind popular shows like District 9 and Elysium.

It also features a cosmetic skin that is modeled after the streamer, as well as a feature from the controversial streamer Dr. Disrespect. Currently, the game is the 32nd most popular game being streamed on Twitch.

Why Are Web3 Games Becoming Popular?

The market share of Web3 gaming companies has been skyrocketing in recent times. Because they provide players with greater ownership, control, and involvement than traditional games, web3 games are growing in popularity in the market. Blockchain, smart contracts, and NFTs are the foundations of the majority of Web3 games.

Web3 games provide creative monetization options for creators. Developers can make money through secondary market sales, transaction fees on NFT marketplaces, and even royalties when users exchange digital assets, in addition to the customary in-app purchases and sales.

Web3 gaming presents a vast possibility that is beginning to dawn on game producers. Recent estimates suggest that the market will increase from $4.6 billion in 2022 to an astounding $65.7 billion by 2027.

Everyone benefits when gamers are granted full ownership of their digital assets and game makers are freed from the need to constantly take more money from other people in a negative or zero-sum manner.

It’s one thing to get people to play your game; it’s another to keep them engaged. More options are available to creators in Web3 games to guarantee player retention. All these major benefits have helped the perfect integration of blockchain and Web3 into the gaming industry.
