Microsoft Xbox supports offline 24-hour games

Microsoft confirmed that its upcoming game console Xbox One needs to be networked at least once every 24 hours to continue the game. In a statement, Microsoft said: "Beyond the prescribed time limit, Xbox One will not be able to play offline, and users must re-establish network connectivity."

According to Microsoft, different Xbox One accounts can log in to access the digital repository on other hosts, but in this case, the Internet connection will be checked every hour. If it is not connected on time, it will not be able to continue playing, but it will still be able to watch live TV and Blu-ray. And DVD movies, and are not subject to the restrictions of checking the networking every 24 hours.

Regarding second-hand games, Microsoft stated that game publishers can allow users to trade games in participating retailers, and Microsoft will not charge retailers, publishers, and users for platform fees for reselling these games. However, game publishers may choose to support or not support resale of the game and decide the resale fee with the retailer themselves. In addition, the user may also lent the game disc to a friend, which will not incur any charges, but the loaned friend must be on the user's friend list for at least 30 days, and each game can only be loaned once. Renting or leasing games is not allowed when the Xbox One starts, but Microsoft said it is exploring the possibility of this situation in the future.

The game that users purchase through CD-ROM or Xbox Live can be accessed by all and can be used on the user's host. Up to ten family members can also use the game library to log in to use the game on the user host through a shared game library.

Finally, Microsoft also explained the privacy issues related to Kinect. When Xbox One is powered off, Kinect only accepts the unique voice command “Xbox On”. Microsoft said that users can also turn off this feature. Microsoft said that even when the Xbox One is turned on, the user's conversation in the living room will not be recorded or uploaded.
