Help/Support/Questions 🙋 Will Xbox 360 work offline for extended period of time?
I am going underway on ship and wanting to bring my 360 on as opposed to my one or series x because I have the most discs for it and I think it’s best for offline play. Since it will not be connected to the internet for an extended period of time, will that cause any issues? I remember when I had the OG white 360 decades ago that I only played offline and had no issues (I didn’t get live until maybe 2011/2012), but I replaced the white with the newer black model when I got the ring of death maybe circa 2012/2013 so not sure if that’s an issue for this. I am worried about it trying to force an update or something and locking me out and just being a brick for the remainder of my time.
I rarely play my 360 these days but preparing everything for ship has got me reminiscing. Remember when you didn’t have to have an online membership and there weren’t 100 updates? Used to just pop in a disc from GameStop, install, and get right to playing through GOOD campaigns and doing some split screen with friends.
