What surprised me from that MVG video as that he faced this issue with disc based games too, which is absolutely unacceptable. I can (to some extent) understand this situation for digital library, but this shouldn't be a thing for physical games. Game pass games need check in more often keep that in mind. You don't own them, so they are needed to be online when you play it. Edited May 29, 2021 by WhiteWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 You might also want to check if the console is set to primary. If your account is sold to someone else it'll be secondary, and you won't even notice it because you're always online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakuza Kiwami 2 booted for me, but it has an active account profile selection screen, which you can't skip, so that' as far as it goes.

You can also go offline longer than a month with Steam. I used to work on cargo ships and we rarely get internet for months (besides emails). Steam on laptop worked perfectly, Xbox would've been a brick in the dustbin corner. Steam asked me for login when i didn't login for a month as my GPU was dead. Twice it happened. I couldn't even login to steam in offline. So it looks, its hit or miss even with Steam. PS consoles are more consistent about it. Steam and Xbox are not, some games work and some doesn't. Games with Denuvo forces online check in more often on pc i noticed Edited May 29, 2021 by WhiteWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I don't have either installed unfortunately. But don't knock your head over it trying to test out every game. It should be a non-issue for most people with consistent Internet connections. But does bring up a general concern around how the actual validation checks work as opposed to competing platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even PC launchers don't require you to be online all the time, and people on PC pretty much accepted the fact that you need online for authentication etc. Because as Grubb said ' Xbox negative news is boring and doesn't get clicks/views'.

hsk_colossus Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 “Taking the lead on the overall software rankings in April 2021 was MLB The Show 21, which is dual published by Sony Interactive Entertainment on PlayStation devices then MLB Advanced Media on the Xbox family. This is a huge year for the annual franchise, marking the first time it’s been available on Microsoft’s consoles. Not only that, it launched directly into the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Judging by its placement, the impact on sales seems to have been additive rather than cannibalizing.” https://workingcasual.com/mlb-shows-well-in-april-during-slight-decline-in-u-s-games-industry-sales/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
