What the issue? Cant play any of my sub games offline

Deadlypffx · Jul 6, 2020

So first off;

Game pass subscription; bought that

Gold: yeah that's comes with the pass

And this is my home xbox.

And as you can tell I have an active subscription.

So can anyone answer why I cant play any of my games offline? I can't be connected to the internet constantly, and recently it's been an issue with it shutting off and stating I dont have access to these games due to not having a subscription, which is completely
false, so what should I do?

I'm not playing anything on Destiny or GTA or RD, those games need wifi since it a online active, all of the ones I'm trying they are offline single player games, I dont see why I need a internet connection if I have already downloaded the game.

Already restarted the xbox, went online to assure my xbox knows I have the subscription, so I should be fine if I want to play it offline, yet I'm given the whole set this to your home xbox, or you dont have a subscription to play these games, go online;

I cant just go online, I downloaded these games to play and relax while offline, now I'm here trying to figure out if this is a common issue or should I just head over to support. Because my xbox doesn't read any errors, I'm just trying to play a game and
now I cant even do that.

Please can someone just help me, this is just unfair, if I pay to be apart of a subscription, why am I not allowed to be offline? When previous games had allowed me to play offline before, now I just cant?

So what now? Can Microsoft, give me some free wifi connection. I only have limited access and I just wasted so much trying to play a game that would only disappear once my wifi got shut off.

On a subscription service, the console has to periodically check, if your subscription is still active.

If they would allow offline play for subscription games, you could buy a one month subscription, bring the console online to download all the games for that month, and then cut the online connection and play those games "forever".

After you cut the online connection, you now cancel the subscription, and due to the console being offline, it wouldn't know you cancelled the subscription. As much as you'd like that, publishers won't allow you to play games without your subscription being
active and able to be verified.

Therefore, while you CAN play PURCHASED games in offline mode, games you got via a SUBSCRIPTION require your console to be online. However I don't know if the console has to be constantly online, or if a check every 24 hours is sufficient.

So, playing subscription games completely offline for a longer period of time is not possible, as the console has to know if your subscription is still active.

Hi there,

just to be sure, did you set your console as Offline via the steps mentioned on this link:

I just want to know how the hell it keeps me from accessing any of my games. If this was strictly net based I should be able to play offline but I cant. This has to be more then just a net issue.
