You do NOT have to have an internet connection to play your games on an Xbox One nor on an Xbox Series. If you do, then it is because you are playing on a console not set to your "HOME" console. Which means that console does not own the game. This is exactly how digital content has worked since the Xbox 360. Home Console owns everything you have purchased, and anyone on that console may play it, offline or online. Your account also owns all content you have purchased, and my play on any console, as long as you are online to authorize the ownership.I been wondering about this question for a while now.Originally Posted by assassincreed83
Internet connection....
Xbox 360 u didn't have to have internet to play games or check your achievements... which is awesome.
Xbox one u have to have internet connection to play games or check your achievements... which sucks.
Xbox series x/s do you have to have internet connection to play games or check your achievements?
Been thinking about getting one this Christmas but wasn't sure if internet is required or not.

Everything I wanted to say but couldn't be arsed to writeYou do NOT have to have an internet connection to play your games on an Xbox One nor on an Xbox Series.

So, if you are having ownership issues playing your games offline, check your console home status and set your active console to be your home console.
Also, those should have been multi-select buttons, as some of us have multiple options.
An Example for you:
I have an Xbox Series X and an Xbox Series S.
My X is setup in my den, on the 82" 4KTV. It is hardwired into my router, and has a constant internet connection, and literally only gets used at home and at Achievement Fest. Always online when I play, it is NOT my home console, as I use the online authorization to access my game content.
My Xbox Series S has one of the attached X-Screens, and is my travel console, and when needed, a boosting/multi-box console. It IS my home console, as quite often I am playing in a hotel room or some other situation while traveling, and internet is not a guarantee. Because it is my HOME console, all of my game content works on it, everything, Xbox 360 through Xbox Series, and not only me, but anyone on my console, has full access to it. So, at Achievement Fest, any easy game I owned, anyone could grab my S, take it to their station, play that game without me logged in, and bring back the console when done.

All my disc based stuff works just fine offline, no issue. Of course, I have not bought a disc in 10 years now, but, the stuff I have works without issue...I've edited the poll for you.Originally Posted by HyruleBalverine
C64 Mat is correct, the Series X|S consoles run on the same framework as the Xbox One consoles. It's mostly just a flashy upgrade and I've noticed that when I change my dashboard on one (or my pins), it tends to change on both. I also find it quite frustrating that I can't use my disc based games or watch dvds/blurays when offline if I don't have the console set as my home. I get needing to be online or the home console for digital only content, but for discs? Really?
