Xbox One requires online connection every 24 hours, at least
"With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library," Xbox Wire writes. "Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies."
This is the clearest explanation of the Xbox One's internet requirements since Microsoft's reveal on May 21. In a post it removed from Xbox Wire, Microsoft said the console "does not have to be always connected, but Xbox One does require a connection to the Internet."
Microsoft recommends a broadband internet connection of 1.5Mbps for the Xbox One, and suggests mobile broadband for those without access to an Ethernet connection. Xbox One has two wireless antennas, and a gigabit Ethernet port and 802.11n wireless.
"Because every Xbox One owner has a broadband connection, developers can create massive, persistent worlds that evolve even when you're not playing," Xbox Wire says.

THCv3 Honestly I was not sure if I wanted to buy one. But this in fact is why I will not buy an Xbox One.
Yeah, I'm fine with my 360. After 6 years, it still works fine.

Graqhic So, what happens if i go on holiday, and then what...
your just not able to play but you can play once you get back and connect to the internet. Your xbox isn't going to like blow up if its not connected within 24 hours. your just not able to play offline.

2014 Seriously why is everyone commenting on forums complaining cause if you are you have Internet so it shouldn't matter unless you are trying to modify the system which is why this was put in place.
Because some of us like to speak for those that do not have internet. Maybe some of them only get one great gift a year because they are on the verge of being poor. A game system would really be great for kids like that, but I guess not the Xbox One. My cousin had a couple of game systems, but he was constantly moving from home to home and never had internet either. Should they really be punished? It makes no sense.
