Achievements and Offline Play on Xbox One

WARB0RG · Feb 7, 2017

Hi,

Due to a house move, I am without the internet and my Xbox Live subscription is live but I am offline.

It is a great opportunity to plough through some games that aren't online dependent or to go exploring without the chatter and invites but...

I note the achievements don't blink up when they are achieved, I've read that the One doesn't when it's offline, my question is do they pop up when I next go online?

They should do as I've 'achieved' them.

:)

Achievements don't work offline

I play games to unlock achievements. I wish that you could get achievements offline on xbox one like you can on 360. I never want to play games when social and gaming is having problems because achievements don't unlock.

Windows 10 Xbox Live Achievements Offline?

Hi, I was wondering, if I play a Windows game on my laptop which has Xbox Live achievement, can I still unlock those achievement if I play offline? I've been playing many games offline recently such as Assassin's Creed Pirates, and
one of the achievements in this game requires the player to plunder 1000 ships. How does it work if I did part of the job online and continued offline? What will happen when I reach 1000 ships? Will I get the achievement if I play offline? or will it bypass
the achievement and block me from ever getting it except if I restart from 0 to 1000 all online?

Yes. Achievements you acquire offline should pop after you connect online again.

Is there any chance you have been playing offline on the Xbox One? Achievements don't unlock while offline, but any earned offline would unlock when you connect to the Internet.

As many have already stated, the result in ban or achievement reset comes from earning achievements "offline" that very clearly require you to the "online"

For example, if you played Cod WAW on xbox 360, and you earned all the offline story mode achievements, there would be no problem. Since your account never connected online, you could never earn the dlc achievements. You also could not earn the achievements,
while being worth 0 points, for getting Prestiege 1 or 10 in online.

Enforcement will reset or ban the account that has achievements unlocked in that manor, that it specifically requires an xbox live connection.

Due to the Xbox one requiring achievements to be unlocked online, if you unlock offline, it will show as offline, but never pop offline. they will only pop once you sign back in. Even though I am not an achievement hunter anymore, if the internet goes out,
i purposely wont play a game where i can unlock achievements, as I too am paranoid about that. Thankfully, due to the nature of this, Enforcement doesnt ban or reset for achievement integrity on xbox one... they will largely act suspicious with xbox 360 achievements,
as while they are unsupported and outdated.. there are still tools floating around to modify achievements.

All in all, you should be safe, not to worry... especially if all your games are xbox one, and you dont have achievements that require online play.

It`s probably some server issues causing it. I really hate that achievements can`t be be unlocked while playing offline because they are tied to servers on Xbox One. Offline achievements are a highly requested feature on their feedback website, but Microsoft
don`t care.
