Xbox one no games are available offline except pins, on my home Xbox.

killa shroomz · Jan 25, 2020

I brought my xbox to a friends and they don't have internet. This is my home xbox and I am signed in under my account I used to make the purchases. I went into network settings and set it to go offline. I only have the internal hard drive that came with
my xbox. The only games that show up are pinned games from before when I used that. I can play those games I have pinned if they are not from game pass.

Under "my games and apps" and "installed" it shows absolutely nothing, for the games tab. I have apps installed that show up fine, I have 1 group which is pinned games and apps, and some of the games show up there. My queue has recently installed games that
work when I play them, if they are not game pass games.

The games I bought and paid for do not show up under installed games. I am trying to play a game I have installed.

I have 101gb free of storage space, so they did not get deleted. They just don't show up where they should.

I have some games that are not installed in my pins anymore, and they show up as just empty boxes with the name of the game, which I am not trying to play as they are not installed.

When I go to add a game to my pins, and select "games and apps" and "all available" it just loads forever. when I change the "all available" to "installed", or "ready to install" it just loads forever as well.

If I choose "games" and all available or installed, it loads forever. Loads forever is the swirly circle thing that just keeps looping.

Just more information I figured I would look under pins since that had some games in it, but it doesn't load anything, not even the ones that show up in that group from games and apps.

I tried restarting my xbox twice too.*

Hey Mythic,

As previously mentioned if the console is set to
My Home Xbox the following is available.

When your Xbox is offline you can:

Watch TV (though you need to be online for OneGuide listings)
Sign in to your profile (if you've signed in online before)
Change console settings (except for profile and family settings; content controls remain in place while offline)
Play games (provided you've set this as your home Xbox or have a game disc)
Save game clips and screenshots
Earn achievements (however, there's limited offline space for game captures and achievements, so you should go online every so often to sync them)

As long as the xbox one is set as your home xbox and you go into offline mode while still connected to the internet by going into settings and network settings and go offline you should be able to play your games.

The only exception to that is the games that are online only games.

Today I'm facing the same problem, I am conecting to xbox live, but I can't play my downloaded games, both the paid or free games.

My home page in xbox one is conected to the internet, my pins games and apps appeared, I cans see my online friends, but there is no store page or community page, as if the console is offline.

Help please.

To play digital games offline your xbox account must be set as the my home xbox account. (5 moves of this per year)
