    Far Cry 4 Offline?

    Hello all, new to the forum and returning to the series after skipping FC3.

    I have only one question at the moment. Will players be able to play Single Player without having their device connected to the internet? I will be playing on Xbox One.

    Thanks!

    From what I heard, any use of the XBox One requires constant internet connection to be able to use. So even if you want to play FarCry4 offline, the console itself won't run unless it is connected to the internet. Correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I have heard.

    That was pre-release stuff that everyone was complaining about. Microsoft went back on that along with digital rights. You do not need a connection to use the XBONE. You probably don't need Uplay either. You do need one if you want updates, patches, and DLC.

    Same deal with any console or PC. But say you are military or something like that, you want to be able to play without a connection. I spent many months playing XBOX 360 in my bunk on a submarine.

    Hey thanks for the responses guys. To confirm BELLROY indeed my Xbox 1 does not need an internet connection to run or play the games I have purchased so far for it. I have heard however of some games requiring a constant connection to the internet even though they have solo single player campaigns. I'm not knocking it, but if the game required it, that would be a deal breaker for me as within 10 days I'm moving and will no longer have my own internet.

    Hi Guys,

    You can play Single Player offline - but - needless to say - you won't have access to anything that needs a connection [like MP, companion app linking, leader boards, frendslist or Co-Op] etc


    You should always try to connect for updates and patches - since they can improve the game!

    I don't think I've heard anything about a companion app for FC4... whats the story with that?

    Will I be able to to enjoy the online experience like MP and Co-Op if I started the game as "Start [offline]"? Perhaps within the menu I can change something that will let me play online?

    I would rather NOT start the game all over as I am already a couple hours into the game.
