Grand Theft Auto V – Can It Be Played Offline on Xbox One S?

grand-theft-auto-5xbox-one

I have "Xbox One S All-Digital Edition" console. I want to play GTA V completely offline once I download the full game from Xbox store. While looking for this, I found some unclear answers stating, I can play offline but I need to be connected to the internet EVERY time I start the game(Perhaps while logging-in to the console). Is it true?

I have downloaded gears of war 4, Halo 5 and Forza Horizon 4 which I can play completely offline. These games don't require the internet even while logging in to the console. Is this the same for GTA V too?

P.S: Link to the game on Xbox store would be really helpful.

The "you need the be online" thing was very confusing at the beginning. I'm using and Xbox One X and Xbox 360 and I can play GTA V offline on both of them.

You don't have to connect to the Internet when you buy the game. I believe the game license itself downloads with the game.

But if you're planning to play through Xbox Game Pass or if you bought the game free from "Xbox Live Gold Games", the console might need to check if you're still subscribed to Game Pass or Xbox Live.
