    Can’t play owned games offline


    As far as i know it’s not possible to play offline when using gameshare. Did microsoft even think of the impacts this will have on gamers that can not always rely on internet to play. I’m stuck without internet now for months and can’t play any of my owned
    games. I barely even have enough cellular data to write this. Is there any way to bypass this issue not involving the use of internet? Otherwise my xbox is pretty much useless and the biggest waste of money on this earth per date. Microsoft/Xbox better do
    something about this soon cause this is killing me.

    :)

    Yes there is a solution use your home console

    It is meant for you not to give your account freely

    Gaming on cellular isnt really recommended

    Lag and high cost of data isnt the besf

    This is the way it alwaysbhas been regardless of console

    Primary console or home console is meant for personal use not sharing among friends

    If you dont have q reliable internet then use your home console as intended for personal

    Having unlimited home console would be abused

    Its a compromise to make sure people dont steal from the publishers would you like it if someone shared your games 1000s of tines withoutbpaying for it I dont think so

    If you want benefits of the system you must use it as intended

    Dont have reliable internet then use yourbown home console

    We couldnalways go to back to the nintendo method only one console at a time

    i cant go offline i own it digitally
    Owning it digitally has no effect on whether or not you can play offline. As long as your console is set as your Home, you can play your games offline.
