Offline Permissions disabled

Hi Jesse,

The Offline permissions setting was already enabled, i disabled & re-enabled it & am still getting the same error.

Thanks Zenosos

But what happened is i had not activated the "offline permissions" option

in the xbox (beta) app:

settings>general>offline permissions

You can start the game offline but you need an account first and enable offline permissions in the Microsoft Store app on your Windows.

Open the app, go to Microsoft Store settings and enable offline permissions.

You can also make your primary PC "offline permissions" in Windows Store app settings, which will make you able to play offline. This way even if you account is set on multiple devices your PC with Offline permissions will always have priority and won't
ever encounter this error.

Hi Harttmann511

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community forum. I hope you're doing well.

As stated on this article that you can only change your designated offline device three times per year. The only way to regain offline access to your games is to wait until the counter resets, which will happen one year after the first time you enabled offline permissions. You can check the date of your next reset in the Xbox app settings under Offline devices. Play games on Windows 10/11 using offline mode | Xbox Support

I understand that a full year is way too long, but there's nothing more we can do to expidite the process. The only option is to wait since we cannot reset the process.

I appreciate your understanding.



Sincerely,
