With upcoming PS5 Games retailing at $69.99 Each for standard versions, many would think PlayStation 5 titles like Godfall would allow single player (offline mode) if you don't have an Internet connection or have poor / metered bandwidth... but the official site states Online Play Required with a Godfall Developer recently confirming this suspicion on Twitter stating, to quote:

"Godfall is not a service game, but does require an internet connection to play."

Beyond any 'big brother' concerns, many users claim Always-on DRM digital rights management such as Sony's SecuROM or Irdeto's Denuvo is notorious for slowing down video games so it will be interesting to see how the PlayStation 5 handles it. šŸ§

Previously we saw a Godfall PS5 Reveal Trailer, Godfall PS5 Gameplay, Godfall Hinterclaw PS5 Trailer, Godfall PS5 Dual in 4K, Godfall PS5 Combat Trailers and most recently a Godfall Cinematic Intro Trailer video.

Here's to hoping as the PS5 Scene gets underway hackers will deliver what disadvantaged gamers are seeking... being able to play PlayStation 5 games in single player mode offline similar to what PS4 Scene release group DUPLEX did removing the mandatory online and title update requirement checks. :sneaky:

No, welcome to 1984. this has nothing to do with either the 80s or being 'dated' it's a choice
Why even force online connection when it's not needed? ...one of the many ticks to sneak in your cloud service you twisted greedy devs?!
