Will I still get achievements for games once I get back online?

Hello Metroid Meister,

I understand what you are asking. I provided our support article surrounding achievements and wanted to highlight that certain achievements may require an online connection in order to obtain them. Achievements that do not require a connection will update on your account once your internet connection is working. It can take up to 72hrs per the support article that I provided, for those changes to reflect on your account. I will ask a team member to confirm this. Another thing you may want to do is boot-up the game once you have regain internet access.

Thanks,

You can earn a certain amount of achievements while offline & they should unlock once you are back online again,although it's not always instant & you'll probably have to boot up the game while online.

No idea how many you can earn though,never been able to find that part out.

That didn't answer my question. I understand the fact you need to be online to get achievements. I'm having issues where power surges kick me offline for a short while. If I would do something in a game that I got an achievement for during the power surge would the achievement for it unlock when I finally get back online? You don't seem to understand what I'm asking.

Hello Metroid Meister,,

I wanted to provide an update to my last reply about achievements taking up to 72hrs to show up on your account, upon reconnection referencing the support article I provided. You should see an update of those achievements, in case you lost connection, unless the achievement requires it to be fully online. I hope I was able to answer your question. Have a great weekend and happy gaming.
