Off The Grid may be the ‘catalyst’ for new crypto gaming bull run: Web3 Gamer

Is Off The Grid the ‘Axie Infinity’ of this cycle… or something even more significant? The wild popularity of the early access version has sparked considerable speculation in the crypto community.

Gunzilla Games’ “Off The Grid” — a free-to-play, third-person, battle royale game — just launched an early access release on major gaming consoles, and it’s already topped Epic Games’ free-to-play PC games list ahead of Fortnite and Rocket League.

Avalanche founder Emil Gun Sirer notes over the first five days of release, the game has been growing at more than 1 million wallets per day and has already notched up 53 million transactions.

On Oct. 11, 154,440 viewers tuned in to watch streamers play the new release and one million hours of viewing has already been amassed.

Deutscher pointed out that it was the fifth-most viewed game on Twitch over the opening weekend of the game, along with being played by “huge streamers” such as Ninja, Shroud and Dr. Disrespect.
