    Home Xbox won't let me play games offline. Fix?


    We have spotty internet here. My home Xbox won't let us log in to our accounts, play games we've got discs for, play downloaded movies, anything. In order to play games we have to sign in. Sign in doesn't work it always says there's no internet. Playing games on disc doesn't work it says it can't read them even tho it read them just fine a week ago. It won't read ANY game disc. The only thing we can do is watch movies we bought cds of. And even then half the time the blue ray player doesn't work.

    What's the point of an Xbox that doesn't play games? I spent hundreds on a crappy dvd player. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

    :)

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good evening

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Xbox. There could be a few different issues causing the problems you're experiencing.

    One possibility is that there is a problem with your internet connection. You mentioned that your internet is spotty, so it's possible that the Xbox is having trouble connecting to the internet. If this is the case, try troubleshooting your internet connection to see if that helps.

    Another possibility is that there is a problem with your Xbox itself. This could be due to a hardware issue or a software issue. If you think this might be the case, you could try resetting your Xbox to see if that helps. To reset your Xbox, go to the "Settings" menu, then select "System," then "Console info & updates," and then select "reset console."

    Home xbox won't let me play offline

    Yeah its pretty [Mod Removed Profanity] stupid to say "you can play games offline on your 'home xbox'" ive set my home xbox countless times and even tried setting it to a different xbox and back again but still cant play my games offline.
    Disc games work fine but any game ive bought off the store tells me i cant play it offline unless im on my home xbox, which i always am. Never used to have this problem either like 2 months ago so theyve just released some sort of update that has broken the
    store (big surprise, yet again)

    Would be nice if literally one of the features microsoft showboats about actually functioned in the slightest. Literally been ripped off like $300 at least unless i have permanent internet connection. What is the point of the home xbox feature if it just
    means you dont get to use anything you own

    Actually like StuartATrueRed said in his post and according to this support article.

    Playing games offline

    There are 2 requirements to play offline.

    1. System has to be your home xbox.

    2. While internet is working you have to put your console into offline mode by going into the network settings.

    To play offline on the Xbox One, you have to go into network settings and select the option go offline. That should then let you play the games offline. You have to make sure you have the Xbox set as your home xbox to do this. You also have to be online
    first to put the console in offline mode.
