Sony has officially confirmed that the PlayStation 5<\/strong> will not require an online connection to play offline games, working the same way as the PlayStation 4.<\/p>\n

Announced as part of Sony’s PlayStation 5 user interface video<\/a>, the news means players won’t have to wait for a patch update or online verification to start a newly purchased game as long as they are offline. Games that are played online will require an internet connection and will update as needed to allow online access but an offline single-player game can be booted as soon as it installs.<\/p>\n

The news is a small relief for fans who currently lack an\u00a0online connection. Despite the internet being more and more widespread, there are those who either have a data cap or no online access at all. Keep in mind that even single player games have day 1 patches that may fix launch bugs or add missing features so playing a game without an update may come with risks. Online games that can be played offline remain the exception. A game like Marvel’s Avengers<\/em>, which recently released a patch<\/a>\u00a0adding new missions and\u00a0addressing bugs, still requires an online connection to save a players data as save data is stored on servers only.<\/p>\n
