Online Requirements

 

  • The Xbox One requires a "check" to occur once every 24 hours, when gaming. Or once every 1 hour when gaming from a console that is not your own.
  • The purpose: To see if you have purchased new games, sold/traded any in, allow automatic updates to games, etc.
  • The Haters: Some people still don't have internet! Oh noz! My internet works 99.99% of the time but I will complain that on the rare chance it is off for over a day I will not be able to play! Xbox One failz!
  • The Solution: Microsoft has clearly stated that you can use cellular internet access to do these checkins. I realize that there are still many people out there without internet or are in rural areas where it is harder to get. However, cellular broadband has made great gains and while it still won't cover everywhere, it will decrease this issue quite drastically. Also, this is something easily changed and it could be extended, for example, to 7 days, or 30 days.

 

 

 

 

 

dunno if it is different in other contries or other carriers or other platforms but..

..i'm US on an iphone with verizon.  i would have to play an extra $20 a month to be able to turn my phone into a wifi hot spot so i don't have the ability to use cellular broadband.  maybe they expect me to buy a windows phone?


Oh thank god someone finally said this. I have had at least 7 arguments on here when I had to retype this over and over again.
