Off The Grid matches are often decided by the smallest detail, so if you’re playing on console, it’s vital to ensure that your controller and gameplay settings are up to scratch.
Gunzilla Games’ cyberpunk battle royale throws a lot at you, from tons of deadly weapons to Cyberlimbs with unique abilities. But if you really want to go toe-to-toe with the best players, you’ll need to take any advantage you can get your hands on.
This includes running the optimal settings, so here are the best options for performance, controller, and audio.
Best performance settings on Xbox Series X/S and PS5
Video
- Frame Rate Limit: 60
- Resolution Scaling Method: FSR 3.0
- Colorblind Mode: Normal unless required
- Brightness: 2.2
- V-Sync: Off
- Motion Blur: Off
Gameplay
- Auto Pick-Up: Enable
- Side-Arm Weapon Ammo Auto Pick-Up: Disable
Although Off The Grid supports 120 FPS on PS5 and Xbox, choosing this option can lead to poor performance and drops. With this in mind, I found that sticking to just 60 FPS makes for the most stable experience.
It’s recommended that you turn off motion blur for the clearest visuals. You’ll often find yourself flying through the air or sprinting rapidly across the ground, so turning this effect means you’ll always be able to see your surroundings without becoming disoriented.

When it comes to controller settings, it’s all about finding a setup that you feel comfortable with. I found the default sensitivities to be a little sluggish, so bumping them up made aiming more responsive and natural, but if you prefer more precise aiming then feel free to go lower.

If you’re playing on PS5, it’s best to turn off the adaptive triggers on the DualSense. While they make the experience more immersive in single-player titles, in online shooters like Off The Grid, having to work harder to squeeze the trigger can be more of a hindrance.
Lastly, 0.1 is the best place to start for the dead zone, but this will vary from controller to controller. So, if you run into stick drift, turn this setting up until the issue goes away.
Best audio settings
- Main Volume: 50
- Music Volume: 0
- SFX Volume: 100
- Match Notifications Volume: 100
- Personal Assistant Volume: 100
- Character Voice Volume: 100
- Voice Chat Volume: 100
- Voice Chat Mode: Always Active
- Audio Preset: Off
- Microphone Activation Threshold: 100
For your audio settings, make sure that you’re only hearing sounds that benefit you. With this in mind, you can turn the overall volume down to 50 and mute the music altogether, to make way for the elements you actually need to hear.
SFX volume should be cracked up to the maximum, as this is how you’ll hear enemy gunshots and, most importantly, footsteps if they get too close. The voice chat settings are largely down to personal preference, but in a game where working together is so important, having a constant line of communication is essential.
Now that you’re running the best Off The Grid settings, all that’s left to do is invite your friends and start racking up the wins. If you want to play with someone on a different platform, here’s everything you need to know about the game’s crossplay capabilities.
