Hey! I’m excited (as many of you are) for the new battlefield game coming out this year! I know the game is very multiplayer focused, but I haven’t been able to find anything stating the game will be playable offline. I know we’ll be able to play with bots, but those could just be launched from an ea server and still require internet access. I reached out to customer support for the Xbox version of the game and they said Xbox live will be required. Maybe it was a mistake, but I’m not totally sure. They cited this link:https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/disclaimers

@dogking57 It is much better to play with bots offline. Because it allows people to play even without the Internet.

im not 100% sure but i think its only online

@AristarhUcolov2 Regardless, no offline mode has been confirmed at this time.

@dogking57 We need offline mode.

@dogking57 As for now they said no... but it could be something to come in future DLCs hopefully.

Does battlefield 2042 have an offline mode

Hello @dogking57 I don't think you will be able to play the game offline as when you play with AI all your progress, rank, unlocks and challenges will be still working and counted and it should be connected to the internet so it can save it.

@VIP-AHMAD-007 Do you think there will be some sort of offline mode where your rankings aren’t saved?

@AristarhUcolov2 Based on the available information you would still need an Internet connection to play against the AI.

@ElliotLH Yes, AI will be a separate service. I have known this since 2018. About self-learning bots, I did not deny that they will be as a separate service or as a separate config. But I'm interested in the first format. Regular bots. Which have a choice of difficulty. I think they should be for offline mode.

@ElliotLH I also know about reviving old BFs with this kind of AI. In fact, they will rebuild online into old BFs again with self-learning bots. Will be as a service. Although it is profitable to rent such a thing. So, most likely the entire server will be in lease format. #BackInBattlefield1942,Vietnam,2,2142
