playing offline on pc

Hi,Sam! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Football Manager will need Internet access for its activation process because Microsoft Store is a network-based platform but there is a" workaround". FM customers that do not want Microsoft Store to connect to Internet can launch the Microsoft Store in "Offline Mode" after installation. Internet access after installation of the game will only be needed to apply game updates or Microsoft Store updates, play ‘online’ network games, use the Microsoft Store or use any of the uploading features.

Set Microsoft Store to Offline Mode.

Launch the Microsoft Store with internet connection

Sign in with the account that have purchased [Football Manager title]

Click on the account icon in the top right corner

Click ‘Apps Setting’

Toggle the ‘Offline permissions’ to ‘On’*

Launch [Football Manager title] (re-launch the game if it is already running)

Sign in to Xbox when prompt

*Please note you can only change this option three times per year.

Once you’ve done so you should be able to play Football Manager in offline mode.

There is an offline play when you do not have internet to your PC as long as the launcher and the game is updated. When you open the Minecraft launcher, the button will turn to "Play offline" and it should allow offline playing. Are you not having that option though?

Do you have this game via Game Pass? The game itself does support offline play. On PC I assume you've followed these instructions https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/gaming-on-windows/play-games-offline-windows-10

Most games available in the Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) plan on your Windows 10 device support offline play but check the details of the game to make sure yours is supported. Games from the Xbox Game Pass catalog can be played while the PC is offline,
but for no more than 30 days before the PC must reconnect to the internet to verify an active subscription. Most games with a campaign mode will be playable offline, but games with network co-op or multiplayer features will not work while you’re offline. While
playing offline, some features, such as the ability to purchase additional items, will not be available.

Hi 锋, I hope you're doing well. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you.

No, you cannot play offline multiplayer on a PC. Your PC must be connected to the internet to play multiplayer mode. However, you can only create private matches and play with bots if you're going to play it offline.

Gamepass for PC is broken. I have the same issue, you can fix by setting microsoft store to offline play, but they only let you do this 3x per year. For some reason, it seems to think every PC is offline
