I haven't been up with the times, but i do remember the rumors going around that youll always to to be online to play xbox1 games. If thats the case then i'm out. If i can't afford to pay my online bill cause i'm broke or online services go down, that shouldn't mean i cant play my xbox. This is sad if true cause i thought i'd never leave xbox, it seems like they just want to blow off their own head cause this is suicide.

They were just rumors. Microsoft has never enforced these policies. Xbox One is DRM free and you're able to play your games offline.

You'll be able to play your games offline as long as you download a day 1 system update.

It is confirmed that you won't need to be online. You will need to do a one time initial online patch though (at least so far that was the last word out of MS), so if you have no connection at all, you're out of luck. But, once that patch is done, officially, you can play offline with no further connections, of course assuming you're not playing an online game (like Titanfall, which is online only). If you don't have an online connection and must have an X1, either you'll have to go to a willing connected friend, or wait till a new version of the system comes out with the patch pre-installed (which logically shouldn't be too long after launch, but hard to say).

After a one time activation, online connectivity is not required.

LIES!! Here's the SW truth: It was completely true, but the cow warriors of the internets had to, for about a week, join forces with the lemmings (who were very confused at how to react to what had just happened, many were jumping ship) of the internets to help them knock Microsoft on its ass and get them to think straight again, preventing the bastardization of console gaming. After much bloodshed, the console now does not require internet connectivity all the time.... And cow and lemming now happily bash each other again, though cows now claim the most land in this SW nation. ((((( Yeah I'm really sleepy )))))

Originally you had to connect online every 24 hours so Microsoft can 'check up' on the system, after the negative reception, Microsoft changed this feature and there will be the mentioned day 1 patch.

Just of the fact that people that actually go to gaming forums dont already know things like this I think its safe to think that most of the general public probaly doesnt even know everything MS did.

Bing isn't as good as google but it isn't horrible plus you get points that you can use to buy stuff so I use it more than google now

Yes you can play single player games offline, but online gaming is where the real action is!

And who knows if these policies can change again. If you read Microsofts Terms of Use, it clearly states that they reserve the right to change anything they want to. Further more, with this whole "Power of The Cloud" thing, its very possible that many games will need to be online anyway or at least to make them worthwhile.

Lol, cows at it again trolling and sending fake information.

 

Nope it's not anymore. First they did but now they said it isn't needed anymore. A quick google search would do the job.

With no internet, the Xbox One will not work right out of the box because you have to download a patch to remove the DRM... lol there will be a lot of people returning the thing to the store for a refund saying that it is broken because of this.

A 10 second google search will answer this. Its pretty clear from this thread that SW can't answer your question. https://www.google.com/search?q=xbox+1+drm+removal&rlz=1C1CHMO_enUS470US471&oq=xbox+1+drm&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l3j69i60l2.6018j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
