    Why can’t I use my Xbox without internet?


    I find it a bit ridiculous that I can’t use my Xbox while I got a power outage, why should I ever spend money on something that decides for me, when I can use it. Now Microsoft can act like they have good reasons for this but I know it’s to shop gamesharing, which I find insulting that Microsoft cares more about saving money than they do the average persons experience with their product. Why should I ever buy a game on Xbox when I could be playing it right now if I had bought a computer. On my one day off in the week I am stuck waiting for internet workers to get done down the road, I’m honestly through with this ridiculous always online scam

    Hi Dan. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Without an internet connection, your console can't access Microsoft servers to verify your game licenses. If you set your console as your Home Xbox, the licenses are stored locally and games can be played without internet:

    Go to Settings > General > Personalisation, and then select My home Xbox. Select Make this my home Xbox..
