Can play only arcade games while offline

R4nKb4c0 JD · Apr 18, 2015

Good morning, I'm facing a problem in which I can play all the games I bought on Xbox Live but only when I'm online, if I'm offline I'm able to play all my Arcade games but not the others. I always get the message "Can't start -respective game-" (I'm not
sure if that's the message as my console is in portuguese). Thanks in advance for any support.

You will still be able to play your arcade games offline, unless they are MP only games

can i play downloaded games from xbox live offline

You can play some arcade, indie games offline, but then some require that you have an internet connection to play them.. As for any games from the games on
demand section. Yes those all can be played offline. So be sure to read a little about the games (arcade, indie) before purchasing if you plan to play them offline.

Have you switched consoles since you first downloaded the games? If so, you need to perform a license transfer.

Thanks for your reply Smwutches,

No, I haven't switched consoles, in fact after I started having this problem I tried to insert my HD in another console and the same problem happens. I can play all my arcade games while offline however still not able to play any of the other games.

The licenses are tied to the console and not the HD which is why it won't work when you move the HD to another console.
