Off The Grid is set to launch on Steam after an early access public launch eight months ago. Currently available as free-to-play on the Epic Games Store and major gaming consoles, the game anticipates its Steam release likely in late June. Despite a steady performance on Epic’s 'Most Played' games list, with a player rating of 3.9 out of 5, Off The Grid lags behind popular shooters like Counter-Strike 2 and Apex Legends in Twitch viewership. Wallet counts, which have roughly doubled since launch, do not equate directly to player counts due to the optional nature of its crypto features and common practices of wallet control by bots. The majority of blockchain activity occurs on the testnet rather than the mainnet. A study tracking new player accounts indicated a 40% inactivity rate after three weeks, with 48% still active, suggesting moderate retention, albeit not enough for widespread conclusions. Retention benchmarks indicate that high-budget games like Off The Grid will need to maintain or improve player engagement strategies as competition intensifies in the free-to-play landscape.
