Re: Someone please tell me NFS Payback is gonna pay us back with an offline version
Yes. As per this post : https://www.ea.com/games/need-for-speed/need-for-speed-payback/news/nfs-2017-paying-it-back
"So, when release day rolls around for the next Need for Speed, you will be able to play through a single player experience completely offline. Before you ask, and we know you will, this does mean you will be able to pause the game."
Also, this seems to be confirmed at EA Play event.
*** Please grant XP and Accept as solution if my suggestion helped. It will help me as well as anyone facing this same issue. Cheers and happy gaming. 👍 ***
