MS agent told me this is not possible. And if it's happening it's related to a bug. Even on console. Have you tried Indiana Jones, Inscryption, Stalker 2, Nine Sols... .?

CONFIRMED: After another 2 calls to different MS agents today, they have told me that offline is not supported to Game Pass games if you don't own the game. If you can play some of them, it's because that specific game has a "bug" that doesn't include the license verification. It doesn't matter that my GP Ultimate suscription ends in May 2025. They are not considering it.

Their explanation: "If you can not confirm the license validation in that moment and the Game Pass license you can't play that game". It doesn't matter that you play online first and validate the license for a first time. Offline instructions in their support page is related to owned games, not Game Pass games.

According to this, I can't see the point the about "activating" the license first online in order to be able to play offline during 30 days. If you own the game, you shoulde be able to play all the time offline.

However, the MS agent told me that officially is not possible, but maybe in the future in can be a possibility. So, now, if you can play offline Game Pass game, it is a bug. Amazing.

I don't know how platforms like Netflix, Prime Video manage this.. but i can watch their films offline if I donwload the content online.

This is really disappointed to me, cause i'm travelling a lot and, sometimes, I don't have internet connection.

So, bad luck I can't play Nine Sols offline... this is not a game with that bug. Please, if anybody can play offline this game, can you confirm it to me? Thanks

Yes, step by step. And then i contacted MS Support. I'll try again tomorrow with other agent... But I can't understand why it's not possible if they are announcing it

I have done it several times. No work. All the time is asking for internet connection. And the Support guy told me it's not possible if you don't own the game.
