Why can’t I use my Xbox?

Dystopian user · Nov 24, 2022

Gist of the situation is I have a Xbox one s, Just moved across the country and don’t have internet and won’t for a few days still. I simply want to use my Xbox to play DVDs for entertainment. Whenever I try to use anything the Xbox does the “not connected to network go pound sand.” Apparently you have to be connected to a network to go into “offline mode” which makes 0 sense. Am I basically stuck with a useless brick until I get internet? Why is this a thing?

Right.

But based on your message above, can I help you in any way?

I have had my Xbox connected and updated before the move, we used it daily.

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Dystopian, Some functions really need an initial connection to the internet, my friend.

What you can do in this situation would be to try to use your cell phone as a hotspot and connect the console to that network.

After that, you can use those functions that need network.

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.
