Off The Grid is one of the new battle royale games and it is in early access. If you want to join, you have to know what platforms are on. Off The Grid is a movie by Neill Blomkamp, the creator of District 9 and the upcoming Gran Turismo movie.
Off The Grid garnered quite a bit of buzz after two of the biggest streamers noticed the game. So it being free, to get access to it, the only thing that stops you from playing the game is your platform.
It thus came as no surprise that the developer later on reiterated that this game is exclusive to Xbox Series X users only, meaning players using Xbox Series S are out of luck.
Here are all the platforms the game is available on:
- PC
- Xbox Series X (Not S)
- PlayStation 5
If you’re on PC, you have to head to the Epic Games Store for this game, but PlayStation 5 users can buy it from the PS store.
Is the game available on Steam?
Off The Grid is not currently on Steam since the developers upheld that this game will only be available on the Epic Games Store.
Steam’s policies state, “Content that relates to the issuing or trading of cryptocurrencies or NFTs when used in applications that utilize blockchain technology” are not allowed for publishing. However, the developers are quick to remind you that, “Off The Grid is not an NFT game” but you can make purchases from the in-game store as well.
Epic, for its part, “will allow games that use blockchain technology as long as they are compliant with the law governing such technologies, the terms of which are clearly stated, and the game is rated by a suitable body.”
Here is how to play the game on Xbox
- Boot your Xbox and open up the store
