Rumor: Microsoft’s New Xbox Won’t Force Gamers to Always Remain Online to Play Games

Many gamers will agree that it doesn’t make sense for a console to force them to be on the Internet in order to play single player titles, but new info on Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox suggests that you may not need to have a constant online connection after all.

While not officially confirmed by Microsoft, a leaked e-mail sent to the company’s employees seems to lay to rest concerns many gamers have about online play.

“There are a number of scenarios that our users expect to work without an Internet connection, and those should ‘just work’ regardless of their current connection status. Those include, but are not limited to: playing a Blu-ray disc, watching live TV, and yes playing a single player game,” the e-mail stated.

Hopefully this rumor is true and not an indication of Microsoft spinning its wheels on this particular issue. Especially after former Microsoft Studios creative director Adam Orth told critics to “deal with it”, when talking about gamers needing an active internet connection to play single-player games.

It looks like we’ll all have to wait, see, and keep our fingers crossed.
