Xbox One will require an internet connection 'once every day'

4.4
While there are no sweeping mandatory always-online requirement for Xbox One games, new official Microsoft comments suggest the console will need an internet connection regularly.
When asked by Kotaku how regularly the Xbox One will require an internet connection when playing a single player game, Harrison responded: "I believe it's 24 hours."

When questioned whether the user will need to connect online once every day, Harrison responded: "correct".

Harrison's comments elaborate on information on the official Xbox news site. According to that site, "[Xbox One] does not have to be always connected, but Xbox One does require a connection to the Internet.

"We're designing Xbox One to be your all-in-one entertainment system that is connected to the cloud and always ready. We are also designing it so you can play games and watch Blu-ray movies and live TV if you lose your connection."

If there was a hurricane i doubt that you would be able to play anyways because there would be no power.

I don't think this would effect me too much, although sometimes my internet connection likes to play up

Rojo Its still going to affect people who don't have access to the internet or don't know a computer that is allowed to connect to the internet. But me, no this won't really affect me at all.


if they dont have an internet connection and a computer, they shouldnt be spending there money on a $600 Xbox :)

MICROSOFT IS TOO F*UCKED UP


If you do read on, it says that the console will still be capable of playing games and what not without a connection. Calm down man, as long as your connected one part of the day should not be a problem.


not everyone has a connection

Automatic connection by your wifi or you have to turn on the xbox yourself? Hopefully it's the former.
