With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies. So you can play games for up to 24 hours without an internet connection, once that time period is over you can't play games at all anymore, until you've established a connection again. BUT don't worry, you can still watch TV and watch DVD,s and Blu Rays. HAHAHAHAHAAHA! Oh man this thing is freaking hilarious.
