Fans can now play Xbox One games offline on Xbox Series X

Fans can now play Xbox One games offline on Xbox Series X without an internet connection, thanks to a recent update.

The 2206 update released at the start of this month makes it easier to play Xbox One games because it won’t make an obligatory online check for Xbox One discs. The patch notes do not make mention of the removal of the controversial DRM feature.

Since the launch of the Xbox Series X, the online check-in was required.

“This is true since the 2206 update,” Xbox engineering lead Eden Marie mentioned on Twitter. “We examined data since Series X|S launch and determined the online compatibility check isn’t needed in the vast majority of cases for Xbox One discs. Some games may still need to be updated online after install to ensure the best experience.”

From now on, people who don’t have a reliable internet connection will be able to play their Xbox One games offline. This comes after users were unable to access their games for days due to an Xbox server outage in May of this year.
