We are thrilled to invite Xbox Insiders on Xbox Series X consoles to join Off The Grid – Pioneers starting today. But wait, don’t chop your arms and legs off yet. There are a few things for you to know before jumping into the action. Read on for full details on how to get your free ticket to Teardrop Island.
About the Game:
Dive into the most extreme Battle Royale ever created! Three global gaming companies have set aside their differences to develop the ultimate adrenaline rush for pro gamers on a dystopian tropical island scarred by a history of corporate warfare.
With a seamless blend of PvP and PvE elements, this cyberpunk Battle Royale envisioned by Neill Blomkamp (District 9) will set a new standard for the genre.
Experience the Off The Grid: Pioneers as we release our first locations, weapons, limbs and game modes and prepare yourself for an immersive narrative campaign on Teardrop Island while simultaneously surviving a Battle Royale — no problem for an elite gamer such as yourself, right?
Build your ultimate character by extracting high-value gear from the Island and empower them with unique abilities by modifying your body with cybernetic limbs during the gameplay session.
